How Did You Hear About Us?

Please provide details

Will you be bringing a wheelchair with you?

All showers are roll in with a fixed bench, removable benches are also available in each room, and all grounds of the retreat are wheelchair accessible.

Will you be bringing a service animal with you?

Do you, or anyone in your party have any allergies (food, seasonal, pet, etc) or food preference (vegan, gluten free, kosher, etc) we need to be aware of? We cook everything from scratch with fresh ingredients but can accommodate food allergies we are aware of. If you have a severe allergy and would like to touch base with our chef beforehand please let us know.

As part of promoting a non-profit organization and spreading the word to as many service members as we can, sometimes media joins us at the retreat. We respect your privacy and want to create a true retreat for you while you are here, so it's ok to say no. We are very careful to make sure whoever is visiting is as non-intrusive as possible. With that being said, are you ok with participating with media here at the retreat?

HHERO Programming Retreat Week: The HHERO Program is for the service member, spouse, and children, or a guest. The schedule is packed with adapted sports and activities to meet the needs of all. However, participation is not required; families are welcome to use the time to rest and relax. HHERO programming is offered year-round. Caregiver Program Retreat Week: TMF provides programming designed specifically for caregivers of recalibrated veterans to encourage self-care, rest, relaxation and bonding with others in relatable situations. These include spouses, partners, parents and even siblings. Recalibrate Program: The Recalibrate Program – established in 2022 – capitalizes on a participant’s motivation after attending the Retreat by providing financial assistance, goal setting, and long-term follow up. This program has provided everything from helping to pave a driveway, provide in-home cleaning services, a computer to help with a home business, an electric bike to help a veteran stay healthy by safely riding to work, and helped with moving expenses for someone that needed a healthier environment. Off-site Program Retreat Week: The Foundation, in partnership with the Georgia Aquarium, brings service members to swim with the gentle giants of the sea. The Foundation also hosts dinners and events based on the location of participants and other programs with partner organizations. Which dates/programs are you available for/interested in attending?

Have you attended a TMF event in the past?

If yes, please specify date of previous event(s):

Service Dog Policy Agreement

The Travis Mills Foundation recognizes and welcomes service dogs who attend our retreat with their veterans. However, we must prioritize the safety and comfort of all our guests during their stay. Pets or emotional support animals (ESA's) are NOT authorized at our retreat facility. The Americans with Disability Act (ADA) defines service dogs as dogs that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for a person with a disability. Only service dogs that meet this requirement are allowed at our retreat. Service dogs must be well-trained, should not be disruptive to other guests, or damaging to the grounds or facility.

It is illegal in most states to pass off an untrained dog as a service dog. This issue is taken very seriously, and you will be asked to leave the retreat at your own cost if you bring any animal other than a task-trained service dog as defined by the ADA.

As airline guidelines are constantly changing, the Travis Mills Foundation will denote that you are traveling with a service animal on your reservation. Once you are provided with your confirmed itinerary, it is your responsibility to contact the airline to provide any necessary information regarding traveling with the animal. In most cases, the airline will only speak directly with the traveler/handler regarding this matter.

By checking below, I am acknowledging that I understand and will only bring a task trained service dog to the Travis Mills Foundation Retreat.
