Base Camp Jimmy (BCJ) is more than brick and mortar. It is a place of healing. BCJ’s grounds are designed to represent a service member’s return home from war. Our grounds begin at Jimmy’s rock, chosen to symbolize the Nation’s Special Operations Forces (SOF) longest war. Continuing along the path, you come upon our warm, welcoming cabins that provide a haven where SOF Members can drop their bags and the burdens they have carried since 2001.
As you settle in and walk the grounds,
you feel an overwhelming sense of peace, the strongest part of the healing process at The Station .

Special Operations Forces (SOF) are the last line of defense in a fight that can be traced back before 2001. Today’s SOF deploy more often, with shorter recuperation times than ever. Trained to carry heavy loads, they do so without complaint. As a Nation, we invest millions in their training to protect our freedom but have overlooked the need to support them on their journey home. The Station’s mission is to fill this void in care and provide the same level of resources used to send them out to defend our Nation. We are the premier organization dedicated to helping the United States Special Operations Community heal from this conflict.
In 2018 we hosted 100 families. By
2019 that number expanded to over 150. With the increase in demand for our programs and the need for more programming at Base Camp Jimmy, The Station turns to you for support. Join us on our journey to create a team
