We Did It! With Your Help! Come Celebrate with Veterans Base Camp!
I'
What Did We Do?
The property that Veterans Base Camp (VBC) is located on was to be put on the market. We had the opportunity to purchase the 43-acre property before it was put on the market. If we did not purchase the property, we had to either close or find an alternative location where we could continue to provide services to support to our veterans. On June 29'th, 2022, Veterans Base Camp closed on the purchase of the property where we are currently located! Words cannot express how overwhelmed we were by the outpouring of love, prayer and financial support of all of those who reached out to help with fundraisers, grants and spreading the word about what VBC was trying to accomplish and why. Thank you ALL! We could not have done this without YOU!

Attached is the link to our VBC video, made by one of the veterans who went through our program. He always wanted to create videos, and as part of our strength-based, "find your passion" approach at VBC, this was his first video. The vets say it best!

We have closed on the purchase of the property, and now we look ahead to continue and to expand our work with veterans and their families.
To support that work, donations can be made by: checks made out to: Veterans Base Camp and mailed to: Veterans Base Camp 108 England Road, Chaplin CT 06235. or through the link on this website under the "Donate" tab.
