Sanctuary Provides a Get-away for Families

Week of February 23, 2009

Project Sanctuary gives military families a five-night, all-expenses-paid, therapeutic retreat in the Colorado Rocky Mountains near Winter Park, Colo. Eight retreats are planned for this year, and 10 to 12 families will go together on each retreat. All retreats are in Colorado, and most participants reside in Colorado with at least one out-of-state family included per retreat. Program officials take retreat applications on a first-come, first-served basis. All servicemembers are considered, but servicemembers who recently returned from deployment are ideal candidates. Families may apply for a retreat by filling out an application at the Project Sanctuary website.
