Take part in our events and programs to experience the transformative power of community
Our services are extended to numerous veteran-serving organizations, law enforcement agencies, courts, churches, clubs, and private businesses. We are at the forefront of suicide prevention, delivering proven and effective interventions.
Community Building
At the CRF, we believe in the healing power of nature. Our events are designed to foster connection, promote mental well-being, and provide a supportive community for individuals facing their healing journeys. Join us as we explore the great outdoors together!
Group Experiences
Weekly Hikes
Every Saturday morning, we invite you to join our guided hikes in local nature reserves. These hikes are tailored for all skill levels, providing a safe space to connect with nature and others. As we walk, we’ll engage in conversations, mindfulness activities, and enjoy the beauty of our surroundings.
Backpacking Trips
For those ready to take their outdoor experience to the next level, our backpacking trips offer a chance to immerse yourself in the wilderness. These weekend excursions focus on building camaraderie while navigating stunning trails. Participants will learn essential backpacking skills, campfire cooking, and team-building exercises, all while surrounded by nature's tranquility. Our trips emphasize emotional support, personal growth, and the joy of adventure.
Backcountry Restoration Days
Join us for our Backcountry Restoration Days, where we give back to the very nature that nurtures us and participate in rebuilding the land that burned down in Northern Colorado. These hands-on events involve trail maintenance, tree removal, and habitat restoration in the backcountry of Sylvan Dale Ranch. Working together not only benefits the environment but also fosters a sense of purpose and accomplishment. Participants will have the opportunity to bond over shared goals and make a tangible impact on the landscape.
Community Gatherings
In addition to our outdoor activities, we host community gatherings where participants can come together to share their experiences, resources, and stories. These events include guest speakers, educational courses, workshops, and social activities designed to strengthen our community and provide ongoing support.
Education
CRF’s leadership takes you and your group through a hand-crafted presentation, teaching effective suicide prevention and raising awareness about veterans mental health. Our workshops, seminars, and outreach programs are here to teach you about how you can prevent tragedy within your community.

One-On-One Peer Support
CRF offers personalized guidance and support to help individuals navigate their mental health challenges, build resilience, and understand their trauma. While our primary focus is on veterans, our programs are also open to trauma survivors and victims of assault. Led by our founder Marshall, his practical and hands-on approach has helped countless individuals, including veterans, combat their struggles and find a path to recovery.
