The Flanker Project is excited to announce the development of a unique holistic wellness retreat in scenic North River, Newfoundland. This innovative non-profit organization offers a transformative experience combining outdoor activities, wellness workshops, and personalized support to foster resilience, healing, and community for veterans, at-risk men, and youth facing challenges to their well-being.

The Flanker Project's programs include:

  • Outdoor Adventures: Hiking, kayaking, fishing, and more to promote physical and mental rejuvenation.

  • Wellness Workshops: Mindfulness practices, stress management techniques, and nutrition education.

  • Creative Expression: Arts-based activities like music, painting, and woodworking to encourage self-discovery.

  • Community Building: Shared meals and group activities to foster connection and a sense of belonging.

The Flanker Project is committed to making its programs accessible by operating on a sponsorship model funded by donations, grants, and partnerships.

The Flanker Project will begin as a Male and Female Veteran Retreat with expansion plans for At-Risk Men and Youth in the future. The retreat will run 70 programs per year with a minimum of 3 participants per 3 day no-substance, all inclusive stays for a minimum of 210 participants per year.

Participants will be housed in private tiny cabins on the banks of North River, NL. The property will consist of a communal cookhouse with outdoor fire pit and a multipurpose riverhouse. The riverhouse will be used by participants on their own for activities such as self reflection and also for group activities such as music, skills and talks.

The Flanker Project is actively seeking partnerships with community organizations, veterans' groups, and mental health professionals to expand its reach and impact.
