“Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.” - Albert Einstein
Kuykendall Campout
Wow, what a weekend! Kuykendall Group Campground definitely lived up to the hype. We unplugged from technology and stepped into the woods for late nights under the moon, a crackling fire, glow stick dodge ball, and some seriously delicious pasta for dinner.
Nature has a remarkable way of strengthening not only the immune system but also the mind and soul. Surrounded by fresh air, laughter, and community, we find true joy in sober fun—sharing stories, offering support, and normalizing recovery in the most natural setting there is. Evenings spent roasting marshmallows, sitting by the fire, and talking late into the night remind us how healing connection can be. Each adventure brings new growth and gratitude, and we can’t wait for the next journey supporting young people in recovery through the peace and renewal that nature provides.
Ninja 5k
Join Harlan Serenity Foundation Inc. at the Ninja 5K! 📍 Holston River Park, Knoxville, TN (31) 📅 Saturday, August 2, 2025
This isn’t your average 5K—it’s a costume run! Our very own Ted will be running dressed as… a couch! 🛋️ Yes, you read that right. You won’t believe what he’s put together in memory of his brother, Harlan Chris. We can’t wait to share the photos!
We’d love for you to join us in person, but if you can’t make it, you can still show your support by donating at HarlanSerenityFoundation.org or just cheering Ted on from afar. Every bit of encouragement means the world.
Let’s make this run unforgettable. See you there (or online)! 🏃♂️💜
