Camp Brown Bear

Camp Brown Bear Camp Brown Bear is a non-profit providing emotional and physical recovery, in the wilderness, year round. The evenings are spent bonding around a camp fire.

A safe natural and peaceful setting to help reconnect the mind and body, through education, camaraderie and building self-efficacy. Veterans suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Traumatic Brain Injury have high levels of anxiety, depression and psycho-social problems. We would like to be part of the solution, in part, by immersing Veterans into the wilderness, giving sense of purpose

while participating in projects, building camaraderie, introducing the participants to holistic modalities (i.e. Equine Therapy, Restorative Yoga, Meditation, Acupuncture, Tai Chi, Music Therapy, Art Therapy and Guided Journaling). They stay physically active splitting wood, hiking, kayaking and canoeing. Giving the participants a safe, relaxing, peaceful, stress free place to spend their days helps them recuperate and sleep restfully, helping process their trauma.

Today we honor “Four Chaplains Day” to commemorate the day troop ship USAT
Dorchester sank. Dorchester left New York on January 23, 1943, carrying 4 chaplains and about 900 others as a part of a convoy of three ships.
Dorchester was torpedoed by German submarine U-223 off Newfoundland at 12:55 a.m. When it began to sink, four chaplains of different religions:
George L. Fox (Methodist),
Alexander D. Goode (rabbi),
Clark V. Poling (Reformed), and
John P. Washington (Catholic)
helped calm passengers and organized evacuation.But there were not enough life vests.

The four chaplains each gave their life vest to others and helped as many men as they could into the boats, then they linked their arms together, saying prayers and singing hymns as they went down with the ship. They were posthumously awarded the Purple Heart and the Distinguished Service Cross on December 19, 1944. In 2006 they were awarded the Medal of Honor.
The Four Chaplains’ Medal was introduced by Congress on July 14, 1960. These medals were presented posthumously to the next of kin of each of the chaplains in January 1961.
