“Debbie was extra exceptional with the way she managed the kids, she had so many activities set up such as Movie Night, Ice Cream Sundae Night, Bingo, and my kids enjoyed them all. She was so expressive and welcoming and such fun to be around. Cannot say enough about this retreat and PNH. Looking forward to attending another family retreat.”

“I have never been on a retreat but always wanted to go on one. This was an incredible experience! From the natural surroundings and provided food the activities, ranging from vibrational sound bowls, yoga, reiki, to Candy Bingo, Ice Cream Sundae Night, Movie Night and family games to the amazing childcare and fun provided by Debbie, Mady and Brady, this was phenomenal. It was so needed and beyond what we could have imagined. Props to everyone on the team Donna, Patty, and Bill for being so friendly, communicative, and just overall sweet and great! We look forward to hopefully staying connected and seeing you all again on another retreat.”

“Project New Hope has been incredibly helpful to my family. The family Retreat not only improved our communication within our own family but also allowed us to connect and communicate better with others. The variety of workshops provided us with new tools to manage stress, from yoga and reiki to simply having open conversations. It was phenomenal to meet personnel from different branches of the service and realize how much we have in common.”

“My kids enjoyed the company of others and formed strong bonds with others who shared similar life experiences. I highly recommend Project New Hope Inc. to any Veteran and Military Families. We look forward to staying in touch with our new connections we have made and reuniting soon.”

“I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to participate in this retreat. I really liked the alternative holistic therapies Reiki, Yoga and Sound Bowls healing. The family events were extremely helpful as well as being able to feel like there was a community to look out for the community to look out for the children while we can work on ourselves was extremely helpful.”

They were so pleasant to work with, anything we needed they worked to make it happen. They took amazing care of our children during the events where my husband and I needed to attend together.”
