Fedcap Veterans Great Pond Expedition

Fedcap Veterans, Friends and Family Recharge at Great Pond Outdoor Adventure

Great Pond, Maine – From June 6 through June 8, the Fedcap Veterans team, along with friends and family, spent a weekend together at the Great Pond Outdoor Adventure Center. The retreat offered a chance to step away from the day-to-day and reconnect with one another in one of Maine’s most peaceful and scenic settings.

Surrounded by forest and lake views, the group stayed in a mix of cabins, yurts, and cottages. The time was used for both relaxation and recreation, with activities including fishing, swimming, foosball, and enjoying time around the fire. Some took quiet walks through the woods, while others paddled across the calm waters of Great Pond. Children and adults alike made use of the recreation hall, played games, and shared stories over meals.

The retreat, which the team called an “expedition,” was a chance to step back, recharge, and strengthen connections. The setting, paired with a relaxed and supportive atmosphere, made it easy to unplug, be present, and enjoy the simplicity of time together.

“This weekend gave us the space to step back, take a deep breath, and just enjoy being with one another. It reminded us that taking care of ourselves and each other is just as important as the work we do every day,” said Brian Cummings, Director of Veteran Services at Fedcap Veterans.

As the group returned home, many carried with them a renewed sense of connection and calm. It was more than just a weekend away. It was a moment to pause, reflect, and return recharged for the work ahead.
