What is together we camp
Together We Can Recovery Centre has partnered with Camp My Way to create, Together We Camp. The result is a camp retreat that allows men and their families to treat and heal their addiction and mental health challenges in a therapeutic, structured, and nurturing environment.
Together We Can works directly with Veteran Affairs Canada to provide addiction services for their members. After completing a 30-60 day program of recovery, first responders become eligible to participate in the Together We Camp program.
The camp is located completely off the grid in the backcountry Mountains of British Columbia Canada. This outdoor adventure based program teaches Campers how survive off grid, and respect our land that Mother Nature has provided all of us to enjoy and appreciate our gift of life today.
Our self sustainability, combined with outdoor Adventure is aimed to help our Emergency Service Providers, and Veterans who struggle with Operational Stress Injury(OSI) and PTSD get their lives back…Naturally.
Our MISSION
The ultimate goal is to help people get their lives back and reconnect with their family and friends through teamwork, self-discipline, meditation, exercise, nutrition and sharing positive experiences, in a natural environment.
We have designed a program of activities and adventure for our campers to push personal limits, break down barriers, and re-establish a relationship not only with nature, but also with themselves. These experiences will provide our campers with the tools to cope with everyday struggles, and teach them about problem solving strategies, setting new goals and the importance of daily routines.
Our facilitators and guides are our Local Native community – N’ Quatqua /St’at’imcets Nations – along with Mt Currie.
