From September 27 - 30, 2025,  we held our fifth Fall First Responders Retreat. We partnered with Eagle River Police Department to hold our First Responders Retreat and Operation Grace police conference. The weather was beautiful. Many participants enjoyed the lake. We had a lot of positive responses. We even heard people saying they want to come back to the 2026 retreat. 

From September 23 - 27, 2024, we held our forth Fall First Responders Retreat. The number of participants grew from the previous year. A favorite activity of the participants was the campfire. We had a speaker join us this year, Dave Funkhouser. He was a fantastic speaker. It was a great retreat.

From September 25 - 29, 2023, we held our third Fall First Responders Retreat. Participants joined from multiple different states. All shared something in common. All are first responders. All have had a call(s) that still bother them. 

Participants enjoyed bonfires, beautiful hikes, fishing, yoga, and more. The fall colors were beautiful during this week. Check out some of these photos. 

It doesn't matter what time of the year it is, the Northwoods are beautiful. Enjoy photos from different parts of the Northwoods. Most of these photos were taken by our founder, Liz Bartholomew while she's out and about.
