Alaska Recovery Fest

Presented by

Alaska Recovery Fest is an event of Joe & Charlie's — a sober social & recovery community center in Wasilla.

Come camp with us

Pack the car and join the recovery community for a weekend on the lake. Alaska Recovery Fest is a relaxed, substance-free, family-friendly campout with good food, live music, lawn games, and speakers sharing their experience, strength, and hope. Pitch a tent, park the RV, or come just for the day — bring the kids, bring a chair, and bring a friend.

Everyone's welcome

Whatever your path — AA, NA, Al-Anon, Celebrate Recovery, or your own road — you belong here. This is a welcoming, judgment-free weekend for anyone in recovery and the people who love them.

sample guidelines — committee to finalize

•Substance-free event — a safe space for everyone in recovery.

•We protect anonymity — no photos of others without permission, and no last names shared publicly.

•Children are welcome and must be supervised at all times, especially near the water.

•Swim only in designated areas during posted hours.

•Pack it in, pack it out — respect the land, the lake, and each other.

Lend a hand

We're building a crew of 30 to 40 volunteers for setup, gate, parking, and more. Sign up for a shift or the whole weekend.
