Our Mission
In the Heart of the Wild, Healing Is Not Just Possible—It Is Inevitable
At Bison Peak Lodge Puma Hills, we provide a sanctuary for our nation’s veterans and first responders to heal, reconnect, and find peace in nature.
We believe that the wilderness can serve as a place of healing.
Our mission is simple, clear, and urgent: to provide nature-based retreats and therapeutic programming for veterans, first responders, and their families at no cost to them— that foster healing from the invisible wounds of service.
Our vision is to share with others the transformative power of time spent in the wild.
We proudly partner with impact-driven
organizations such as:
- Challenge America
- Project Healing Water
- Waters Operation
- Wounded Warrior
- Fishing the Good
- Fight U.S.
- Army Strong Bonds
Every day, thousands of veterans and first responders battle PTSD, struggling to reintegrate into daily life.
Their suffering and its toll on their families, careers, and mental well-being is immeasurable.
Post-traumatic stress, isolation, disconnection, and the other hidden costs of service steal not only their peace—but often their relationships, their careers, their sense of self.
Here, we leverage nature’s healing power—the pristine, 500,000+ acres of wilderness and National Forest that envelops Bison Peak Lodge at Puma Hills.
We don’t just host retreats.
We change lives.
Amid the towering peaks and endless sky, our nation’s veterans, first responders, and their families can begin the journey back to themselves.
They can take part in world-class programming—art and music therapy, guided retreats, silent reflection—designed not just to mend the body, but to heal the mind and soul.
