Facilities

Our retreat is situated on two beautiful farms surrounded by nature in Charles City County.  Our farm houses are used as school houses for our youth at the Guardian Academy.  Veterans and families will stay at campsites, and eventually cabins, on our beautiful woodland farm surrounded by nature.  We have an abundance of outdoor areas for rest and relaxation, along with opportunities for hands-on, immersive exploration and fun. Our farms provide a unique opportunity to learn about agriculture, construction, husbandry, stewardship, nature and so much more.  

Activities

We offer a variety of activities that cater to different interests. Our unique location - near the banks of the Chickahominy River, just a short drive to Richmond or Williamsburg - allows us to offer a plethora of activities for fun, education, family bonding and personal healing.  Stay tuned for details on all of the wonderful activities we will offer at The Guardian Retreat!

FAQ

What is The Guardian Retreat?

The Guardian Retreat is a 501(c)(3) organization whose mission is to help veterans and families achieve a healthy, productive and fulfilling life.  This is accomplished by offering veterans and families an escape from the stresses of daily life through agricultural and construction programs, structured mental wellness retreats and family connection retreats.   The Guardian Academy is a retreat for the young members of our families.  It is an opportunity for youth to unplug and recenter their souls by learning to put their minds and bodies to work in a natural environment.  

What is The Guardian Academy?

The Guardian Academy is a retreat from traditional education for our youth.  It is a place where kids can learn critical life skills that are not normally taught in a traditional curriculum. We offer a variety of classes and activities that cater to different interests and encourage hands-on learning. Our focus is on fostering a sense of community and promoting personal growth. Enrollment for the 2024-2025 school year will be for children ages 7 to 12.
