Am Vets Outdoors

Veterans helping Veterans get a new perspective through outdoor adventure and camaraderie to cope with life after service.

Guardian Outdoors Division

“Get Veterans out of their heads and into the wild.”

We believe that exercise, the woods, and the water can cure the mind and body. Our focus is on teaching Veterans about the outdoors and gear hunts toward keeping them out into the wild.

The hunts range from bank fishing to deep sea, squirrel hunting to chasing elk in the mountains.

Once a Veteran goes through our program, they become an ambassador for Guardian Outdoors. They will use what they were taught to develop future events for fellow veterans in their area to spread the wealth of getting more Veterans involved in conservation and the gift of the wild.

We will be videotaping and taking pictures of the entire process. From packing gear, buying gear, getting licenses, knocking on doors asking for permission, hanging stands, tie knots, hang tree stands, set traps, and catch fish. It will extend into processing and cooking the game.

Then the most important part, we will be filming the brotherhood. The tough talks around a camp fire over cold beers. Sharing these stories and tough talks via our videos, so that others can see they are not alone. Learning to live again instead of just existing in the daily rat race. Finding the warrior spirit within and reminding the veterans they have earned a title that they should carry with pride the rest of their days.

Warriors Mountain Rivers Adventures

WMRA is a Non-Profit 501(c)(3) dedicated to helping veterans and first responders heal from trauma by introducing them to therapeutic outdoor activities. Our goal is to disrupt veteran suicides. WMRA believes you fight PTSD and trauma from a position of strength. We will help build warriors physical, mental and spiritual strength. We recognize the number one thing both veterans and first responders miss when they leave the service is the camaraderie. Therefore, we purposely built our program and adventures around this idea of camaraderie and community.

We have a number of activities that we introduce attendees to depending on the season and their physical abilities. The goal is to introduce people to new activities/hobbies that become lifelong activities after their week with WMRA.

  • Wood working—custom fishing nets

  • Snow Shoeing

  • Fly Fishing both River and Lake

  • Hiking

  • Skiing

  • Snowmobiling

  • Photography

  • Rafting

We accomplish our mission by getting our Wounded Heroes outdoors hunting and fishing thereby challenging them, empowering them and enabling them to do the things they love to do,” he said. “The outdoors and camaraderie with fellow veterans help bring them out of their shell.

Creek and Timber Legacy

Creek and Timber Legacy began a journey in 2019 to help veterans, first responders and families of the fallen to enrich their lives through outdoor experiences. We have partnered with numerous organizations and individuals to further our mission to provide outdoor learning, hunting and firearm therapy.

Courage Incorporated

We provide free all-inclusive outdoor wilderness excursions to individuals and veterans with physical disabilities, and to those living with chronic/terminal illness, in an effort to help them get into the woods and get on the water.

Camo Cares

Camo Cares was founded in 2010 by a small group of volunteers from Knox, Pennsylvania. With the initial hope to send just one child on a hunt, we were able to surpass our goal and raised $20,000 that year! By 2012, with no paid employees, we had reached $90,000, allowing us the opportunity to also sponsor hunts for wounded military veterans.
