At The Healing Hero Project, we are driven by a deep commitment to restoring purpose, peace and healing for those who have served. Through the transformative power of nature, the unwavering bond with animals, and intentional reconnection, we’re creating a sanctuary where veterans and service families can heal side by side with rescue animals and the land itself. Every tree planted, every trail restored, and every connection made reflects our belief: true healing starts from the ground up.
At Camp RECON, we will offer immersive, holistic wellness programs designed to support veterans in healing their mind, body, and spirit. Our services will include equine connection experiences, regenerative land work, canine companionship, cold plunges, saunas, and trauma-informed workshops. Each journey will be personalized to meet veterans where they are—offering transformation through movement, reflection, and meaningful reconnection to self and purpose.
While our roots began with pairing rescue dogs and veterans, our mission has grown deeper. Today, The Healing Hero Project nonprofit embraces a broader path to healing. Through Camp RECON, we are expanding our services to address the whole person, offering transformative wellness experiences rooted in nature, purpose-driven activities, and therapeutic companionship. We remain committed to honoring the bond between humans and animals, while building a new future of recovery, restoration, and reconnection.
For years, we have been a part of some amazing organizations that give back to our communities in various ways. By supporting other fantastic organizations that help save the lives of animals and help support them in the lives of our hero's, we give healing companionship to both pets and humans. There's something so empowering being a part of this bigger picture. We can't change the whole world, but we can help change the world for each of these animals who deserve a second chance at a life full of love, fulfillment and purpose.
We are certainly animal lovers, clearly. Over the years, all of our board members have been involved in adopting rescue pets and helping advocate for them. When we launched The Healing Hero Project in 2023, we focused on finding pets we felt were capable of a higher purpose through service work or companionship for our community's heroes. Our unique program ensures that each animal has the time to decompress and learn how to trust again. We facilitate an increase in confidence but starting them on basic obedience and allowing them to thrive while we build a bond.
If you or someone you care about is a veteran or service member in need of healing, connection, or support, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Whether it’s through our rescue dog partnerships or the holistic wellness programs at Camp RECON, The Healing Hero Project is here to walk alongside you.
