Restore
A bonding experience for SOF Warriors and their Children
Set in a remote location in Montana, Restore is a nine-day survival course for Special Operations Warriors and their children. Through a combination of comprehensive survival training and a realistic crucible mission, Restore reconnects our Warriors and their children in a private, safe, relaxed environment. It provides Warriors the opportunity to share with their children the meaning and value of service in Special Operations and inspires relationships between our Warriors and their children to thrive.
Restore exposes children in the Special Operations Community to the physical, mental, and emotional strengths their parents possess to earn a spot in their elite units. It not only prepares children with skills to move confidently through unfamiliar and challenging terrain but also cultivates their minds to overcome personal thresholds. With the powerful opportunity to share this with their Warrior parents, children return home equipped to serve as leaders of character in their communities.
Uniting the children and parents from the Special Operations Community encourages all participants to share, learn and grow together in a setting that demands teamwork, tenacity, and trust.This initiative not only reconnects families but also nurtures a profound sense of validation, boosting children’s self-worth and self-esteem. By participating in Restore, families find themselves in a private, safe, and welcoming environment that fosters and strengthens healthy relationships.
In their own words…
“I cannot express enough the appreciation I have for what you do for the families of SOF. It is a life of continuous demand not only on the warriors but the families as well. The time I was able to spend with my son during RESTORE was irrefutably the most quality and effective bonding I’ve had with him in the past 3 years. It was instructive and challenging in many ways and I was able to go through and work with my relationship in a new way with him. We will be able to continue what we learned and build upon that in many ways.”
