What We Do

Eagle Rock Camp is a family saving, suicide prevention organization that serves veteran, active-duty, National Guard and reservist families.

We host our families at weeklong, therapeutic retreats that help them reconnect with their families and communities and teach them a new way to heal from the moral and spiritual wounds of war. We make miracles happen. Sometimes they happen around a campfire.

Veteran and military families are already at a 200% higher risk of death by suicide than civilian counterparts. Combine that with isolation, fear, uncertainty about the future you have an increase in mental health issues, financial stress, family abuse, drug and alcohol abuse, neglect of children, financial stress and a higher than normal risk of death by suicide.

HOW YOU CAN HELP: Financial Donations: Make a one-time gift or join our Hero Club for as little as $4.95. (Click on the GIVE button) https://eaglerockcamp.org/
