Freedom in the Trees: A Recovery Retreat

Freedom in the Trees is a weekend retreat held at New Frontiers adventure campus in Tennessee, designed for members of the recovery community. The program weaves together outdoor adventure activities—high ropes courses, low ropes team challenges, and zip line experiences—with intentional moments of fellowship and recovery connection. Beyond the challenge course, participants gather around campfires, share meals, listen to live music, and engage in informal conversations that honor the shared journey of recovery. The retreat emphasizes that sobriety extends beyond abstinence to encompass a fuller life: trying new things, building community, and discovering freedoms that may have seemed impossible before. Whether early in recovery or many years sober, attendees find space to reconnect with joy, the natural world, and the bonds forged through shared experience.
