Warrior Bonfire Retreats: An Environment of Trust

Each year, our Colorado Winter Adventures retreat offers an unforgettable experience for Purple Heart recipients, immersing them in the breathtaking beauty and thrilling activities of the Rocky Mountains. From snowmobiling near the Continental Divide to skiing, ice fishing, tubing, and even grooming the slopes in a snowcat, this retreat is packed with excitement. And after all the action, nothing beats relaxing in the hot springs, letting the warmth soothe tired muscles.

But the real reason our Warriors sign up isn’t just for the adventure—it’s for the camaraderie, the healing, and the trust in the Warrior Bonfire Program. Time and again, alumni share how these retreats provide more than just fun; they offer connection, understanding, and a space to heal among brothers and sisters who truly get it. Each retreat is built from a model that has been shaped and molded by our members over the years. The quality of services are standard from one retreat to the next has come to be an experience our members depend on and expect.

“I looked into a lot of Veteran nonprofits but chose the Warrior Bonfire Program because of the comments posted by other Purple Hearts. I was very happy with my choice.”

At Warrior Bonfire, it’s not just about the experiences—it’s about the people. It’s about the lifelong bonds formed, the stories shared, and the quiet moments that remind our Veterans they are never alone.
