The evening begins with a shared dinner and a meal is provided. A fire ring conversation follows, opening with a brief personal exploration of what outreach means to each person. The formal fire wraps up later in the night, and quiet hours are observed for cabin guests. All veterans are welcome. Immediate family members may join for the meal and can take part in a family support group, or sit in at the main fire if no facilitator is available. Please consider bringing a sturdy chair since seating may be limited. Dress for the weather because this happens rain or shine, and come ready with an open mind and calm respect for those beside you. Watch for road signs on approach. For questions, contact Corey Roberts at 970-744-0588.
