War Widows and Disabled Veterans Find Healing and Strength Through Mountain Climbing

Widows of war and their children from Ukraine attended a charity summer camp in the Austrian Alps hosted by Nathan Schmidt, an American marine who used mountain climbing as a path to recovery from his own war experiences. The camp aimed to teach the grieving families to rise above their grief and find strength. The journey was challenging, but the widows and children faced their fears and overcame obstacles, including climbing the Mooserboden Dam and reaching the summit of Mount Kitzsteinhorn. The camp provided therapy sessions and a supportive community, helping the participants heal and find hope for the future.
