Jaywalker Programs: The Landing and the Lodge
Jaywalker Lodge is a special place. Perhaps we’re a little biased, but years of experience and personal understanding of recovery have helped us grow into a place that’s different in a lot of really helpful ways. At Jaywalker Lodge, our passion and sole purpose are to help men find lasting, long-term recovery. It’s a cause […]
Congrats Dave
This past Saturday my friend and colleague Dave Santini celebrated 8 years of continuous sobriety. Dave and I first met when I checked into treatment at Hazelden in February of 2007. I was on my way in and he was on his way out. He told me he was going to a place called Jaywalker […]
Congrats Lenny
Our very own Lenny Beaulieu celebrates 7 years of continuous sobriety even though he was, “never that bad.” Ha. Allow me to explain. I met Lenny when we were patients together on the Tiebout Unit at Hazelden in August of 2007. It was my third time there. I was that bad. However, after about a […]
Shredding Sobriety, Mink hucks 4 big ones
In 2010, I came back to Jaywalker Lodge to be a counselor intern during my last semester in Graduate School. When I got back all of my friends were talking about this guy who had gone through Jaywalker Lodge while I was away. His name was Adam Mink. Apparently, he was a great guy, good […]
Brendon Celebrates Six Years
On January 5, 2014, Brendon Kerton, counselor and supervisor at The Landing, celebrated six years of sobriety. Born and raised in New Hampshire, Brendon looked to head West at a young age, enrolling in classes at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City immediately after high school. He graduated with a degree in history […]
The Anonymous People Review
THE ANONYMOUS PEOPLE is a feature documentary film about the 23.5 million Americans living in long-term recovery from alcohol and other drug addiction. Deeply entrenched social stigma and mass participation in widely successful anonymous 12-step groups have kept recovery voices silent and faces hidden for decades. The vacuum created by this silence has been filled […]
Denver Marathon
Jaywalker would like to congratulate our very own endurance professional and Landing supervisor, Brendon Kerton, on completing the Denver Marathon yesterday. Brendon has competed in numerous races across the country and even in an Ironman. In yesterday’s race, Brendon finished in the top 15% defeating over 2500 racers. Nice work Brendon! Donnie Hagenbart Program Coordinator […]
Paintball
The new clients at The Landing joined the students from Jaywalker U for a friendly game of paintball. Feelings ranged from anticipation to downright terror as the Landing suffered multiple defeats to the more experienced U team. Hundreds of rounds of paintballs flew for several hours before ammunition ran out and exhaustion set in. While […]

All proceeds benefit two local non-profits: A Way Out and Valley Partnership for Drug Prevention. The shotgun start will kick off at 8:30 AM sharp, followed […]
Little slice of peace
The Roaring Fork Valley is home to some of the premier fly fishing rivers and streams in the country. Fly fishing has the potential to be a meditative and therapeutic practice. It also has the ability to induce a fumbling, knot-fixing, frenzy. One must always be reminded as to why they are there. It’s not […]
