HEALING THROUGH INTERGRATION
Integration is the first step towards healing. Many veterans and military families dealing with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) struggle with going out into the public. The Active Heroes Retreat and Nature Park is designed to give these families a safe place where they can intermingle with the public and visit “Healing Areas” to find solitude.
HEALING THROUGH NATURE
The Active Heroes Retreat and Nature Park is located on 147 beautiful acres seated in between rolling hills and valleys with four dedicated flat activity areas. The retreat embodies healing by giving military families a place where they can leave their personal problems behind and step into the warm embrace of nature, whether it be a green, mossy grove, the military family garden or the rocky hills. Visitors can expect to see deer, turtles, hawks, black racer snakes, fish and in the future a petting zoo with mini horses and goats.
The retreat has four main creeks that bend through the rolling hills and valleys. The creeks are named Leadership, Valor, Integrity and Loyalty, and inspirational signs are featured along the trails. The forest hides away 3 springs that also have tiny waterfalls. The sound of water can often be heard as you walk around the 147 acres, making the area an ideal place for rest and relaxation!
