Transforming Lives One Strongpoint at a Time
2025 brings continued growth and healing opportunities for our nations Veterans on our 350+ acre Ranch, nestled at the base of the Cibola National Forest in the foothills of the Magdalena mountain range in New Mexico.
OUR MISSION
Strongpoint Theinert Ranch (STR) is a place where active and veteran military members, their families, and Gold Star families come together to strengthen themselves both physically and mentally, transition through life’s challenges, and reconnect with friends, family, and most importantly themselves, as they bond over shared experiences and participate in a wide range of activities amongst the natural beauty of the scenic mountains and open prairies of New Mexico.
Programs at Strongpoint Theinert Ranch are kept small, so that each trip can be customized to the needs and interests of that group. Our agility and flexibility allows us to better serve our members.
​
Our goal is to create a sense of community at Strongpoint Theinert Ranch that allows our participants to come away stronger than they arrived with newfound energy and friendships to improve their overall quality of life.
Strongpoint Theinert Ranch is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and is entirely funded by donations. There is no charge for veterans, veteran families, or Gold Star families to visit the Ranch.
In 2024, Strongpoint Theinert Ranch (STR) facilitated a record 10 therapeutic events, including 8 veteran retreats at STR and 2 weekend retreats at Mashomack Preserve on Shelter Island, NY. This milestone marked the beginning of our most expansive year of programming in the 8-year history of STR.​
In STR 021, a dedicated team of 30 volunteers came together to build a 1,364-square-foot wellness deck on the west side of the Barracks, further enhancing our ability to serve those who have served.
​​​As we continue on our journey of helping and healing, we are pleased to announce that STR’s mental health team, in collaboration with our program staff, has developed the following program calendar for 2025:​​​

April 10-14 - Male Veterans
