2026 Refresh and Recharge Retreat:
Compassionate Care for the Voice Behind the Headset
September 3, 2026 | 0900–1700
Thacher State Park | Voorheesville, NY
On September 3, we’re stepping away from the consoles and taking over Thacher State Park for a day dedicated entirely to you and your well-being.
Every shift, you answer the call. You remain calm in the chaos, provide reassurance when it is needed most, and help others through some of the most difficult moments of their lives.
This day is about taking care of the person behind the headset.
The 2026 Refresh & Recharge Retreat is free of charge, fully catered, and 100% focused on helping you decompress, connect, and recharge.
A huge thank you to Motorola Solutions for sponsoring this event!
