AMTOPP Summer Workshops - August 14-15, 2026

This year’s Summer Workshop will be held at The Station Foundation – 
505 Sheep Rock Rd, Gallatin Gateway, MT

As in the past few years, AMTOPPP’s workshops will provide some much 
needed and very costly work on the grounds of our hosting site. This year 
we are excited to be at the Station Foundation.

 The Station Foundation website describes its purpose as an organization established and 
staffed by members who served in the Special Operations Forces (SOF). These warriors and 
families are fully dedicated to the SOF community and assist participants in navigating the 
rough terrain of transition and reintegration back to civilian life by offering experience, strength, 
and hope as individuals identify and translate strengths into new arenas. The Station helps 
SOF Warriors (active duty and retired), Spouses, and Children increase self-awareness, 
improve family connectedness, and manage stress and energy levels.

One of the programs offered is The Legacy Project, which supports Gold Star Sons and 
Daughters from adolescence onward. The Station continues to serve as a support system for 
this Community throughout their lives. The location of this facility offers a beautiful compound 
nestled in a mature Douglas Fir forest, with large cliffs hovering over and along the Gallatin 
River. The site has approximately two acres of turf and 100 ornamental trees.
