This will be accomplished by providing memorable outdoor recreational opportunities for the “Brave” as a way of rewarding their service or heroism and providing an opportunity to heal their mind and spirit in a beautiful outdoor setting.
Hunts for Healing
Hunts for Healing is a small non-profit, volunteer organization dedicated to recreating the small squad experience for wounded veterans through mentored outdoor challenges. If you are a post 9-11 combat vet who was injured in the line of duty or who is struggling to adjust to life stateside, our goal is to help you find some healing in the great outdoors.
We host a variety of multi-day events year-round during which all of your needs are accommodated including home-cooked meals, supplies and sleeping quarters. Our events are limited to small groups and every participant is paired with a mentor.
While our mentors and volunteers come from all walks of life and backgrounds, many are vets themselves. Our hope is that through this experience we can aid in the physical, emotional and spiritual healing of wounded vets and help ease the transition back into daily life.
Hunting with Soldiers
ABOUT
Hunting with Soldiers Inc. is approved by IRS and GuideStar as a 501(c)(3) Nonprofit that provides hunting, fishing, and other outdoor activities to Combat Veterans.
Hunting with Soldiers provides these opportunites to these brave individuals AT NO CHARGE TO THEM. It is our firm belief that these men and women of uniform have paid enough in blood, sweat and tears and sacrificed enough for our freedom. We do not require that they be an Injured Veteran we just require them to have been to combat to qualify for our Program.
Many injuries are not seen. Many Combat Veterans come back and suffer from PTSD. They are sent to Doctors to discuss their situations as well as given many medications. Due to the fact what they say is most often written down or recorded, many do not discuss everything. When these Men and Women are able to get back into the outdoors and sit around the camp fire, they are able to talk with like minded individuals and tell of their horrors. What they say is never repeated, thus allowing much of their nightmares to disappear with the smoke of the camp fire. We call this Outdoor Medication.
