Two Marine Corps veterans and a Soldier, bound by a shared passion for the outdoors and a deep sense of duty, recognized the need for veterans to rediscover the camaraderie and community they once knew during active duty. So, they decided to do what they could, with what they had, and put the rest in God’s hands.

Setting out to create a sanctuary for veterans, first responders and their families, they saw an opportunity to bring service members together through shared outdoor experiences. Anyone who has served—or has had family who served—knows the lasting memories forged in the outdoors, whether around a fire, on a hunt, or beneath an open sky. Base Camp Alpha was founded as a place to rekindle those connections, offering a retreat where veterans and first responders can step away from daily struggles and find natures peace, a safe haven, and connection once again.

Located in the Appalachian foothills of southern Ohio, Base Camp Alpha provides a place to reset—where healing happens through nature, camaraderie, and shared experiences. Whether through a guided hunt, a quiet morning hike, or simply gathering around the fire, our mission remains the same: to provide a refuge where those who have served can reconnect, find support, and embrace the next chapter of their journey.

Built by veterans, for veterans and first responders, Base Camp Alpha stands as a testament to resilience, faith, and the power of community—because no one who has served should ever feel alone in the fight after service.
