Participate as much—or as little—as you like. This weekend is all about freedom, restoration, and reconnection.
About Operation Get Out
Operation Get Out is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides outings, events, and resources intentionally designed to utilize nature and water for wellness. With deep roots in the first responder, military, and health communities, we create experiences that empower individuals to access the healing, grounding, and uplifting power of nature and water—especially in the face of grief, illness, anxiety, PTS, and burnout.
Through these shared experiences, we’ve witnessed time and again the unlocking, resetting, and renewed sense of purpose that emerge when people are given time, tools, and space to breathe.
Please Note: While we love children and pets, this is an adult-only weekend designed to provide a peaceful, distraction-free environment for deep rest and reconnection. We kindly ask that you make arrangements for your little ones and furry friends so you can fully enjoy the experience.
