Save it. Share it. Get outside. 🦌🦃🦆

The 2026 Michigan hunting seasons at a glance. Hunting is more than filling a tag, it’s time outdoors, time with family and friends, and an opportunity to disconnect from the noise for a while. Take a kid, take a Veteran, take a friend, make some memories, and keep Michigan’s outdoor traditions going strong. 🇺🇸

WHAT MAKES CAMP VALOR DIFFERENT?

There are some incredible organizations across this country getting Veterans outdoors, rebuilding camaraderie, providing peer support, and reconnecting them with a sense of purpose. We need every one of them.

But Camp Valor was built differently.

Camp Valor is Combat Veteran Clinician-Led Care.

I spent three deployments in Iraq as a Marine infantryman. Today, I’m a licensed clinical therapist. Camp Valor brings those two worlds together — the lived experience of combat and the clinical training to understand trauma, crisis, mental health, and the battles that can continue long after the uniform comes off.

We absolutely use the outdoors. We hike. We kayak. We build things. We bring Veterans together.

But the activity isn't the mission. It's a therapeutic tool.

The mission is what happens through that connection: breaking isolation, building trust, addressing trauma, strengthening families, developing healthy coping skills, restoring purpose, and making sure a Veteran stays connected to care long after the activity ends.

Adventure opens the door. Clinical care moves the healing forward.

That's Camp Valor.

September 11, 2001 changed the course of my life.

I was a sophomore in college, getting ready for my second season playing basketball. September 11th happened. Two days later, I left school and joined the United States Marine Corps Infantry.

That decision led to three infantry deployments to Iraq in 2003, 2004, and 2005. Those experiences shaped who I am and solidified a lifelong commitment to our country and to the Veterans who served beside me.

Twenty-five years later, that commitment continues through Camp Valor Adventure Healing. The mission may look different today, but the commitment is the same, to serve, to stand beside our Veterans and their families, and to make sure they know they are never alone in their fight.

Today, we remember those we lost, the First Responders who ran toward danger, the families forever changed, and all those who answered the call to serve in the years that followed.

Lest we forget. 🇺🇸

Happy Labor Day from Camp Valor Adventure Healing. 🇺🇸

Today we recognize the men and women who put in the work every single day for their families, their communities, and this country.

We know hard work takes a toll, and sometimes the battles people carry aren't visible.

At Camp Valor, we'll keep fighting for the mental health of our Veterans, First Responders, and their families. You don't have to carry everything alone.

🇺🇸 NEVER FORGET | FIREFIGHTER MICHAEL CAMMARATA

The youngest FDNY firefighter killed on September 11, 2001, was Firefighter Michael Cammarata.

He was just 22 years old and had been on the job only nine weeks when Ladder Company 11 was called to the World Trade Center.

Before heading into the disaster, Michael left a voicemail for his father letting him know where he was going.

He had always dreamed of becoming a firefighter.

Michael was also an accomplished athlete, playing semi-pro hockey and, at just 12 years old, representing South Shore Little League of Staten Island in the Little League Baseball World Series. His No. 11 was later retired and remains displayed at Lamade Stadium in his honor.

Michael was last seen conducting fire operations at the Marriott Hotel at the base of the World Trade Center.

His remains were never recovered.

On June 7, 2003, a vial of blood Michael had donated while attending the fire academy was buried with full FDNY honors.

After his death, Michael’s brother found a handwritten list inside his nightstand:

“Take care of Jenna.”

“Don’t mourn me. This is the career I chose.”

“Make my spirit live on.”

“Remember I love you all and will be waiting for you upstairs.”

Every member of Ladder Company 11 who responded that morning was lost.

At Camp Valor Adventure Healing, we believe remembering our fallen is more than saying their names once a year. We honor them by carrying their stories forward, supporting the brothers and sisters who continue to serve, and making sure their sacrifice is never forgotten.

Rest easy, Firefighter Michael Cammarata.

Your spirit lives on.

🇺🇸 Never Forgotten.

Today, Camp Valor Adventure Healing remembers and honors Army Sgt. 1st Class Gregory A. Rodriguez, 35, of Weidman, Michigan.

SFC Rodriguez was assigned to the K-9 unit of the 527th Military Police Company, 709th Military Police Battalion, 18th Military Police Brigade in Ansbach, Germany.

On September 2, 2008, he died from wounds sustained in Ana Kalay, Afghanistan, when his mounted patrol came under small-arms fire.

He left behind a wife, three children, family, friends, and fellow service members who carried the weight of his loss long after the battlefield went silent.

Eighteen years later, we remember his name, his service, and his sacrifice.

Please take a moment to share his story so that SFC Gregory A. Rodriguez is never forgotten.

September is National Su***de Prevention Month.

At Camp Valor Adventure Healing, our mission has a special focus on veterans, first responders, and their families. But su***de does not affect only one group. It can touch any family, friendship, workplace, or community.

Check on the veterans in your life, but do not stop there. Check on your friends, family members, coworkers, and neighbors. Make the call. Start the conversation. Sit with them. Sometimes simply showing up can make a difference.

If you or someone you know is struggling, Contact CVAH OR call/text 988. Veterans can press 1 to reach the Veterans Crisis Line.

No one should have to fight this battle alone.

Your Battle. Our Mission.
