Three days and two nights of outdoor therapeutic recreation, connection, service, and adventure in the cool pines of northern Arizona.

The EmpoweRanch Veterans Camp Out℠ welcomes military veterans and active-duty service members for an intentionally designed weekend that combines camping and camaraderie with experiences that support mental health, confidence, connection, and well-being.

Participants will meet ranch animals, take part in a guided unmounted experience with members of the EmpoweRanch herd, explore the forest, learn outdoor skills, practice grounding and mindfulness techniques, complete team challenges, contribute to a service project, and enjoy time around the campfire.

Friday check-in: 2:00–4:00 p.m.
Sunday departure: Around 11:00 a.m.
Location: Near Christopher Creek, approximately 30 minutes northeast of Payson
Meals: Provided
Eligibility: Military veterans and active-duty service members

The camp is offered at no cost in gratitude for your service. Registration requires a $25 commitment deposit, which will be returned at camp check-in.

Some activities take place on uneven natural terrain. Tell us about any mobility, access, pacing, dietary, or support needs during registration so our team can plan appropriate routes, adaptations, and activity options. Limited loaner camping equipment is available by advance request.

Space is limited, and advance registration is required.
