Get Out & Get Away: A Sponsored Wellness Weekend

Presented by Operation Get Out

Step away from the stress and into the respite of nature. Join Operation Get Out for a fully-sponsored, no-cost wellness weekend created specifically for first responders, military, nurses, and front-line workers—along with their significant others.

This adults-only retreat is designed to immerse you in the proven mental, emotional, and physical wellness benefits of being in nature and on the water—with zero pressure and all the support.

What to Expect

• Lake time your way: boating, floating, or wake surfing

• Sunrise Just Breathe sessions + Sun Up SUP paddle outing

• Guest speakers, meaningful connection, and open conversations

• Evenings with music under the stars

• Delicious meals and drinks shared in community

• Plenty of space to rest, reset, or roam freely

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.
