Our Mission
“Camp Ponderosa”, a retreat and learning center to assist veterans with addressing the challenges, fears, and stigma that they face during and after they have served in our Armed Services.
Providing them the opportunity to get away and reconnect by attending retreats and offering skills for employment, recognizing the symptoms and triggers of military occupational stresses, develop coping mechanisms to regain a sense of normalcy and relaxation to our returning veterans
