Regional RTB: PBA SoCal/Phoenix X Cairn Leadership Strategies 

Joshua Tree, National Park

Patrol Base Abbate runs Regional Return to Base programs, where we bring our premier programming to our members across the country.  Our Regional RTB program mimics our Montana based, club-focused RTBs and is an opportunity for our local chapters to gather for high impact programming experiences.  The  Regional RTB program fosters community and connection among our veteran population, allows our members to recalibrate their resilience, and emerge ready to better serve themselves, their families and their communities.  

Who: This Regional RTB will be focused on our SoCal and Phoenix Chapters but all PBA members are welcome to attend.  This will be first come first served up to a roster limit of 30

What: Regional Return to Base program with guided rock climbing and hiking in Joshua Tree National Park 

When: Friday 1 November (afternoon arrival) to Sunday 3 November (afternoon departure)

Where: Joshua Tree National Park

Why: This Regional RTB program will be executed in combination with Cairn Leadership Strategies' veteran guides.  We are humbled by this opportunity and excited to share space in the park and around the campfires with our friends at Cairn.  Our SoCal and Phoenix Chapters are leading this effort to bring our premier Return to Base program to our members across the Southwest and beyond.  Our programs are meant to allow our members to reconnect with their veteran community, recalibrate their resilience, and rediscover their sense of purpose.  We hope you can come rest and refit inside friendly lines with us!
