What does a Rest & Resilience Retreat look like?

A chance to step away from the demands of everyday life.

Time to slow down.
Time outdoors.
Meaningful connection.
A little laughter.
And space to simply breathe.

Our fully funded retreat weekends give first responders and their families an opportunity to rest, reflect, reconnect, and reset. đź’™

Rest. Reflect. Reconnect.

đź’™ Today is National First Responders Day.

Today we recognize the law enforcement officers, firefighters, EMS professionals, dispatchers and corrections professionals who dedicate their careers to serving others.

But we also want to recognize the people standing beside them.

Behind many first responders is a spouse, significant other, kid, family and friend who has learned that serving a community often means life doesn’t follow a normal schedule.

It can mean holidays or occasions celebrated on a different day because someone is working.

Dinner getting cold because a shift ran late.

Plans changing because of overtime, staffing or a call that couldn’t wait.

Weekends, birthdays and family events missed.

Sleeping during the day because someone works all night.

A phone ringing and knowing plans may suddenly change.

Handling bedtime, meals, appointments or responsibilities at home because someone else is at work taking care of their community.

And sometimes it simply means understanding that when the shift ends, it may take a little while to transition back home.

Those sacrifices may look small individually, but over a career, they add up.

That is one of the reasons Rest & Resilience Retreat was created to support first responders AND the people who stand beside them.

We believe they deserve time to step away from the schedules, responsibilities and demands of everyday life.

Time to have an uninterrupted meal together.

Time to sit by the water.

Time to laugh.

Time to talk.

Time to reconnect with each other and connect with people who understand this life.

Time to simply rest, reflect and reconnect.

As we close our 28 for 28 campaign, we are incredibly grateful to everyone who donated, shared our mission and helped us raise $476 toward future Rest & Resilience retreats.

Today, though, our message is simply this:

To our first responders, thank you for answering the call.

And to the families, friends and loved ones beside them, thank you for everything you do that makes their service possible. đź’™

Happy National First Responders Day.

It helps create a weekend where first responders and the people who support them can step away.

The demands of a first responder career don’t only affect the person answering the call. Long shifts, overtime, missed holidays, changing schedules and the responsibilities that come with the job can also mean less time and energy for spouses, significant others and families.

That’s why Rest & Resilience isn’t only about supporting the first responder. It’s also about creating space for the relationships and people beside them.

A place to stay. Meals taken care of. Wellness services. Activities. Time outdoors. Fires. Games. Conversations. Reflection.

Time to reconnect with a spouse or significant other.
Time with peers who understand.
Time to slow down without another responsibility waiting.

And most importantly, participants experience the weekend without the financial burden of paying for it.

Our 28 for 28 goal is to raise $2,800 by October 28, National First Responders Day, toward another fully funded retreat for first responders and their loved ones.

$28 • $280 • $2,800

Help us support those who answer the call and the people who stand beside them.

National First Responders Day is October 28, and this year we want to do more than say thank you.

We’re launching 28 FOR 28 with a goal of raising $2,800 by October 28 toward another fully funded Rest & Resilience Retreat.

Why 28?

Because sometimes showing up for those who spend their careers showing up for everyone else can start with something as simple as $28.

$28 • $280 • $2,800

Every donation helps us continue providing fully funded retreat experiences where first responders and their families can step away from the demands of the job, rest, reconnect and intentionally take care of themselves.

They show up for us. Let’s show up for them.

✨ That’s a wrap on our 2026 retreats! ✨

Our 8th and final retreat of the year was filled with rest, connection, wellness, community and plenty of fun, with a mix of R&R favorites and some new experiences!

Participants arrived Friday with plenty of time to settle in at High Valley Ranch before heading into downtown Cumberland for Fall Fest and dinner Nezzy's Sports Bar & Grill.

Saturday started with homemade breakfast quiche and fresh fruit at the retreat property. While Couples enjoyed some free time and received their massage wellness services Magic Touch Massage before the group came together for pottery at Emporium Boutique & Art Studio and a walking taco lunch.

One thing we love about these weekends is being able to incorporate activities our participants are interested in. This group requested bingo, line dancing and bowling, so we made all three happen! They headed back to Nezzys for bingo, where they even picked up a few wins, tried something new with line dancing at The Lodge Cumberland, enjoyed an Italian dinner back at the retreat property and finished the night bowling at Club Cumberland!

Sunday gave everyone time to slow down, journal, reflect and come together for our closing conversation before heading home.

This entire retreat was generously sponsored by Cumberland Federal Bank and we are incredibly grateful for their support in making this weekend possible.

As we close out our final retreat of 2026, we are thankful for every foundational partner, donor, business, volunteer and supporter who helped make these weekends possible.

Eight retreats later, we continue to see what can happen when a community comes together to create space for first responders and their loved ones to rest, reflect and reconnect. ❤️

Thank you for being part of R&R’s first full retreat season!
