Who qualifies? For Camp Liberty, a veteran is a person who has served or is serving in the armed forces of the United States or her allies in war or in peace. A first responder is a person with special training who arrives first at an emergency to give help. Military and first responder service is inherently hazardous, and Camp Liberty is committed to supporting them with opportunities and connections to resources.
Not all injured service members receive recognition such as a Purple Heart, especially those with invisible wounds like traumatic brain injuries (TBI). Camp Liberty may request additional information and clarification when necessary beyond the documentation typically annotated on the DD-214.
Is Camp Liberty Only for Veterans? Camp Liberty also serves first responders. In some instances, facilities and programs may be extended to others who are living with health challenges.
Can Camp Liberty help my family? Camp Liberty has developed multiple programs and activities for veterans, first responders, and their families, and invite them all to register to participate. Programs are offered for families, men, women, and children. When there are restrictions on the numbers we can host for a particular function, such as the number of sporting event tickets available, Camp Liberty may have to make selection determination. We try to do the best we can so please consider the difficulties we may encounter in helping as many people as we can. When applicant numbers exceed availability, Camp Liberty will do its best to host all possible guests. Our selection process changes with each event and may sometimes depend on donor intent or grant rules.
Is Camp Liberty just about hunting? While hunting and fishing are important components of our outdoor activities, our facilities are set up to host a wide variety of activities with inclusive amenities. Watch for our programs like trout fly tying, turkey calling, sporting events, fishing rod building, pheasant hunting, companion dogs, faith-based, substance use disorder, kayaking, trout fishing, coyote hunting, 3-D archery, suicide prevention, outdoor women, couples classes, CPL training, first aid, and many other opportunities
I have a disability. Can Camp Liberty help accommodate my accessibility needs? Camp Liberty is striving to provide a universally designed facility and outdoor experience. Because we strive to maintain a wildlife enriched environment, this means we have a very limited, rugged trail system around the property. Our mobility challenged guests are provided use of our on-site Action Track wheelchairs to access our wilderness trail system and wildlife observation areas. Camp Liberty tries to maintain a wide variety of adaptive equipment and technology products to aid in optimizing the outdoor experience of our guests of all abilities.
Stay Tuned! We invite everyone to check back on a regular basis and go to the “Events Calendar” to see what’s next. The links below explain each of our activities and some include links on how to register or volunteer.
