Your flight information will be emailed approximately 2 weeks prior to your retreat. If you have not received your flight information, email us so we can get it squared away.

Our retreats are closed to visitors. We want you to fully focus on yourself and the retreat while you are there.

We will accommodate medical dietary restrictions and allergies. You must disclose your restrictions during your intake so we can prepare. If you did not disclose or if something has changed, let us know immediately. If you are just a picky eater, you might have to pick the onions out.

We would love to host your organization. Please send us an email so we can chat about dates! Retreat@orwfoundation.org

Only service dogs that are trained in accordance with the Americans With Disabilities Act are allowed at the retreats. Emotional support animals and pets are not allowed.

No, our therapeutic horsemanship program is all groundwork. Conducting groundwork allows everyone to participate and helps build a great bond with the horses.

Veterans attending individual retreats will share a room with another Veteran. We do not pick your roommate, we let you do that. At couples and family retreats, you will have a private room(s). Larger families may have multiple rooms.
 
All Veterans attending our retreat must be able to provide their own self-care throughout the entire retreat. Our team is not able to assist with medications, health needs, or physical assistance. Caregivers are not able to attend with a Veteran.
 
 
To ensure all participants can fully engage in the activities and navigate the retreat location, Veterans must be fully mobile and capable of maintaining their own self-care. Unfortunately, due to the nature of the retreat’s location, wheelchairs and other large mobility devices are not well suited. However, we do welcome the use of canes, walkers, and other small mobility devices to assist with your participation.
