Patriots Cove

Patriots Cove is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization in northeastern Pennsylvania and founded by a military veteran and his spouse to empower other veterans, first responders, and their caregivers to heal and adapt to life after service. Through events on our eighteen acre refuge, we provide restorative outdoor activities, environmental service projects, and educational events and retreats for caregivers.

Patriot Point

Patriot Point provides a relaxing and safe environment to enjoy outdoor recreational activities for our nation’s wounded, ill and injured service members and their families.

At Patriot Point, our nation’s warriors are able to reconnect with their families and their caregivers, decompress after a deployment, or just take some time to rejuvenate.

Situated on 290 acres of Maryland’s Eastern Shore, fronting two pristine waterways and just a short distance from the Chesapeake Bay, Patriot Point has one thing in mind: Creating a destination for those who have valiantly served our nation so that they can recharge, refresh and rejuvenate away from the stresses and challenges of their everyday lives.

Patriot Hunts

The mission of Patriot Hunts is and always has been to provide outdoor adventures through the hunting/fishing world we all love. We believe in giving our veterans, first responders, and Gold Star families of fallen heroes the choice and opportunity to chose whether our program is a good fit for them or their families. These families have given, served and sacrificed so much for this nation we all live in and love so very much.

We as a Free Nation owe a debt of Honor to all these Heroes that can never be repaid. They serve and sacrifice for America, and that is why Patriot Hunts exist, and that is why we serve and sacrifice on their behalf.

Freedom comes at a price that sometimes gets lost in today’s society, but the cost of Freedom is easy to see if you just open your eyes and look around.

We provide outdoor adventures at (no charge) to any participant that qualifies and is chosen for a hunt. We at Patriot Hunts understand that the outdoor life is not for everyone, and we respect that choice, but we want to at least make this opportunity available for those that wish to attend a event.

Outdoors for our Heroes

Outdoors For Our Heroes is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization focused on providing service-connected disabled veterans the opportunity to hunt for a wide variety of animals on quality properties for lifetime experiences.

Our team consists of volunteers, donors, and corporate sponsors that share a passion for hunting, the outdoors, and the desire to enable our service-connected disabled veterans the best opportunities to get out and hunt on quality properties with people who ultimately respect our heroes. It is our obligation to take care of those service men and women that make it home and provide them with hope, optimism and motivation through hunting experiences.

We are an all-volunteer organization. Our staff does not collect any personal monetary compensation for their time. All donations received go to support the outdoor activities.

Outdoor Experience for All

The concept for The Outdoor Experience 4 All was conceived in late 2007. Although there are charitable organizations whose focus is offering hunts to terminally ill children, they tend to focus on hunts that require extensive travel and time commitments. We recognized that there were many families of children with life-threatening illnesses who could not take an extended hunt. Many of these families have other children, and long for an experience that could involve the entire household or even extended family. Due to the prohibitive cost and time involved with interstate travel, we realized that our focused needed to be on Arizona families.

After many months of planning we were able to put our first hunt together in September of 2008. Not knowing how it would go we decided for our first hunt to call on a youth we already knew who would qualify for a big game tag transfer. We had hunted with Thomas Widenhofer during a 2007 elk hunt and we had a strong relationship with his family so he was a natural choice. Thomas agreed to be our first hunter and with many months of planning he arrived with the hopes of harvesting an Arizona antelope. Within the first hour of the hunt Thomas had harvested a nice antelope that measured 84 4/8. The sense of accomplishment felt by everyone involved lit a fire and The Outdoor Experience 4 All was off and running!

From September of 2008 till the end of the year we were able to do one antelope hunt, four deer hunts, and five elk hunts, and took two children with autism fishing. After the fishing trip we realized that we should not limit this organization just to youths who have been diagnosed with a life threatening illness, but also offer an outdoor experience to those who have disabilities, non-life threatening illnesses, and the children of our fallen heroes. So in the fall of 2008 we became officially incorporated as a non-profit 501(c)3.

The mission of the Outdoor Experience 4 All (OE4A) is to change lives one adventure at a time. Everyone who participates in an OE4A adventure, including volunteers, sponsors, parents, and siblings leaves camp with a new outlook on life!
