TESTIMONIALS
"I've been out of the Army for over 20 years, I had no idea what to expect, it's just my nature to say 'Yes' to an adventure. I was really surprised how good the other side of this was. The mental side was just great, and we did a lot of good bonding. It's awesome to feel like you belong. And the graduation day...man it overwhelms you to see the entire town involved!"
Dan - Army Combat Engineer
"The best part of being behind the scenes for VOTR is watching how people change throughout their time at the camp. For two weeks, I watched all the Veterans and my fellow intern learn new things and grow in ways that many of them never thought possible. From the hand shake 'Hello,' to the hugs goodbye, everyone left camp with a new look at life and life long friendships. Pretty Cool!"
Grace - College Intern
"Both the rafting part of it and the saft-skill training are things you're going to take a LOT out of. It doesn't matter what point you are in your career or in life itself, you definitely benefit from the training. It's designed to help you progress in your career, at home, and in general. I am grateful and would highly recommend it to anyone, well worth your time."
Johnny - USMC
"I only came for the rafting but I left with so much more! The instruction on your behavioral preferences and adjusting that to different people in my family and people I work with is going to make a huge difference for me. I have two boys at home, and things I learned here will allow me to change my approach when it comes to motivating them to do well in life."
Kurt - Retired Army Officer
"From the day I visited VOTR two years ago in it's pilot phase, I could see they were different. It was a no brainer to get on board. We are smaller, more intimate, we take an individualized approach with every participant while building them as a team. I take pride in the campsite, our meals, and the experience we provide to every Veteran. If you come see us, you will understand, there is a reason our participants come back every year just to tell there story, and pay it forward."
Rich - VOTR Chief of Ops (USMC)
