AN EPIC FAMILY BEACH RETREAT
At Our Epic Project
we know the value of a family vacation extends well beyond the number of days spent. Taking a family vacation can reduce stress, increase serotonin levels, promote rest and provide an opportunity for families to disconnect from the day to day and reconnect with each other.
Being able to take advantage of a much needed vacation retreat without the added stress of financial burden is where Our EPIC Project steps in. ​Together with our friends and local business community we are excited to share all that our communities have to offer. Beginning with a one week rental, we'll make sure our deserving family has a great home-base for their vacation retreat. From there we'll put together a great itinerary of activities, amenities and experiences that will make this an EPIC week to remember. ​
"Since 2012 Outer Banks Boil Company has been honored to be a part of so many family vacation traditions. When we founded Our Epic Project back in 2022 we knew we wanted to find a way to share that feeling on a different level. We want to be able to make the dream of experiencing an EPIC family vacation retreat a reality for deserving families."
-Matt Khouri, Founder Outer Banks Boil Company
2026 Nominations Open April 2, 2026
We believe that the best way to honor those who served is to provide a space for connection, healing, and rest. We are deeply honored to announce that for our 2026 EPIC Vacation Retreat, we will be awarding two vacation retreatas to deserving veterans and their families. Set against the beautiful backdrop of the Outer Banks, these retreats are designed to lift the 'heaviness of heart' and replace it with lasting memories of joy, relaxation, and togetherness."
