Recurring Event - Saturday Mornings from March 23-May11th
Project Reconnect is an identity and transformative program designed to assist veterans in reclaiming their sense of self, managing stress effectively, fostering mind-body harmony, and promoting thought architecture AKA brain rewiring. In a world where veterans often grapple with the profound effects of their service experiences, this innovative program provides a beacon of hope and healing.

Reconnecting:
As veterans return to civilian life, they often face the daunting task of reconnecting with themselves,
their families, and their communities. "Project Reconnect" recognizes that this journey can be as
challenging as any battlefield, and it offers a holistic approach to addressing the physical, mental, and
moral injuries of military service.

The program begins by engaging veterans in a safe and supportive environment, where they can freely
express their thoughts and emotions. Experienced facilitators lead participants through a series of
therapeutic activities, group discussions, and one-on-one sessions aimed at exploring their individual
identities and understanding the complex interplay between their experiences and their identity.

Core Components:
The program's core components revolve around the integration of mindful practices, such as: yoga,
breath-work, meditation, body-scanning, and physical fitness routines. These activities empower
veterans to reconnect with their bodies, fostering physical well-being and enabling them to regain a
sense of control and strength. By encouraging veterans to become attuned to their physical selves,
Project Reconnect; helps them transcend the limitations imposed by trauma and injury, establishing a
new identity.

The Heart of the Work:
The heart of Project Reconnect lies in its mission to promote self-acceptance. Through various
exercises and lessons, veterans are encouraged to embrace forgotten facets of their identities, offer
themselves forgiveness for perceived shortcomings/moral injury, and take pride in understanding what
it means to be human. The program provides tools for veterans to redefine their narratives, focusing on
their strengths, resilience, and understanding of their body and mind.

Conclusion:
Additionally, Project Reconnect encourages veterans to build a supportive community among
themselves, fostering a sense of camaraderie and understanding. Through shared experiences and open
dialogue, participants create lasting bonds that extend beyond the duration of the program, providing
an ongoing network of support and encouragement.

Project Reconnect is a beacon of hope for veterans seeking to heal the invisible wounds of their
service. It offers a path to self-discovery, self-acceptance, and reintegration into civilian life. By exploring
identity, promoting self-acceptance, and rebuilding the mind-body connection, this program empowers
veterans to reclaim their lives and embrace their futures with renewed strength and purpose.

Camper Registration:
Enjoy cooking and eating dinner around a campfire. Enjoy conversation, laughter and fellowship as each campfire will have multiple people; ready to hear a veteran share why they remember Memorial Day. Take time out of a chaotic schedule to remember and honor those who have given up everything for our country and our freedoms. Each ticket cost $25/person. You can purchase up to 6 tickets with this form. If you need to purchase more than six, please complete a second registration form. Age Restriction: Must be 13 years old or older (No exceptions) $25 Ticket + $1.07 Fees = $27.09/ticket Tent camping only, you will need to provide your own tent. No trailers, RV's etc. Please provide your own chair for around the camp fire. Dinner will be provided. Breakfast will be a concession. If you are planning on participating in the Murph run the next day, please submit a separate registration.

Murph Run:
As the sun rises this Memorial day so shall we rise, and begin the day’s suffering via the nationwide tradition of the workout Murph. Named after the fallen Navy Seal team leader who put himself in harm's way to save his brothers. Murph consists of a 1 mile run, 100 pull ups, 200 push ups, 300 squats and another 1 mile run. Participate at your physical capability. Upon completion of Murph, we will hear a Memorial Day message from the guest speaker, and veterans from Special Operations Divisions. Up to 6 people can register on this form and participate in the Murph Run on Sunday May 27th in the AM. Submit a second registration for more than six individuals. No Age Restriction. You do NOT have to camp the night before to register for the Murph Run. If you registered for the camping trip, please ALSO register for the Murph run, if you plan on participating in the Murph Run.

Cover the Cost of a Vet:
Memorial Day is a day in which those who have served burn over the brothers they have lost and those who have not served respect those who gave their lives… but mostly burn BBQ. We aim to create an inferno so bright that all those who gather around it may experience the same level of heat. Just as Jesus bridged the gap between heaven and Earth by walking among us, our Church will follow his example by providing a way for those who have not served to walk among those who have. By sharing stories we can connect with one another; through suffering we become bonded together and with salvation comes an everlasting peace that every soul longs for. The $25 for this registration will cover the cost of a veteran attending the camp out. $25 Ticket + $1.07 Fees = $27.09/ticket
