North Carolina hosts over 700,000 veterans, with a high concentration near Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River. Many face challenges such as PTSD, depression, homelessness, and loss of identity. Traditional clinical systems are often overloaded or distrusted, creating a need for veteran-led, outdoor-based retreats.
