Utilizing the natural healing powers of Maine's outdoor heritage, House in the Woods Military & Family Retreat offers 1 to 5-day outdoor programs to bring together small groups of active military, veterans, and their family members to relax, share, bond, and deal with the stress, loss, grief, and other painful realities, both physical and mental, which may occur when our armed forces serve and sacrifice for the defense of our American heritage — life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We share with our participants canoeing, kayaking, hiking, hunting, fishing, nature tours, campfires, swimming, wildlife identification and spotting, and other natural eastern Maine resources God has given our beautiful state to enjoy. Whether participants are sitting under the countless stars on a cloudless summer night or reflecting on their reflections in the glass-like stillness of a Maine pond during a 4am summer sunrise, there is a therapy in realizing one's enduring place in eternity. As participants face together the outdoor challenges presented by Mother Nature herself, they will derive a sense of accomplishment, find through exercise a release of stress, and have the opportunity to talk and share with one another laughter, memories, sorrow, service, and pride.
