10th Annual Raytheon Program Achievement Award given to YMCA of the Rockies

(EMAILWIRE.COM, June 08, 2011 ) ESTES PARK, Colo.- YMCA of the Rockies has been honored by the Armed Services YMCA with the 10th Annual Raytheon Program Achievement Award for their therapeutic military families program.

YMCA of the Rockies and Project Sanctuary partnered to provide therapeutic and supportive recreational activities to veterans, active military personnel, wounded warriors, and their families. Founder and director of Project Sanctuary, Heather Ehle, explains “War-torn soldiers and their families need healing, and the majestic beauty and calm at the YMCA of the Rockies allows the the recovery to begin.” Since 2007, 96 military families have enjoyed week-long retreats at Snow Mountain Ranch, a 5,100 acre resort-style property located just outside Rocky Mountain National Park. YMCA of the Rockies provides lodging, meals, meeting rooms and activities while Project Sanctuary provides counseling and support for military families and veterans struggling with issues such as PTSD, traumatic brain injury, alcoholism, anxiety and depression.

Project Sanctuary hosts four therapeutic retreats per year, each serving up to ten military families. In response to their waiting list of 580 families, Project Sanctuary plans to offer eight retreats at Snow Mountain Ranch in 2011. Staff and nearly 150 volunteers, offer professional counseling and family support services including classes focused on healthy marriage, finances and parenting.

YMCA of the Rockies scholarships half of the cost of these retreats and Project Sanctuary pays for the other half, allowing all retreats to be absolutely free of charge for service personnel and their families. Kent Meyer, President and CEO of YMCA of the Rockies, states “We are honored to provide a meaningful and life-changing service to hundreds of military family members through our partnership with Project Sanctuary. Together we support these deserving families that have sacrificed so much.”

YMCA of the Rockies has two properties and a dedicated summer camp in northern Colorado. Combined, the properties span over 6,000 acres and have helped families share memorable events and vacations for more than 100 years. YMCA of the RockiesÂ’ properties offer hotel style lodges, multi-room vacation cabins, a yurt village, camp sites, cafes and dining halls, an indoor swimming pool, libraries, arts and crafts centers, a full-service Nordic center and cross-country ski trails, indoor and outdoor chapels, and more. An on-site Chaplain is available for additional services including baptisms, memorials, and weddings.

Project Sanctuary was founded in 2007 with the purpose of helping servicemen and women returning from deployments, and their families, through recreational therapy and family retreats. Between 2007 and 2010, 96 military families, have benefited from Project Sanctuary retreats.

YMCA of the Rockies and Project Sanctuary are Colorado-based non-profit organizations.
