Headwaters for Heroes

Headwaters for Heroes is a 501(C)(3) non-profit organization serving our Combat Wounded Veterans & Gold Star families through hunting and fishing events as a base foundation for our outdoor therapy programs. We focus on group events, as we have firm belief that true healing will take place in a community of those that have experienced the struggles and sacrifices of war. The healing process in most cases never ends, but if by being surrounded with similar experiences can make the process easier, then we will continue our efforts in giving the platform to those who need it.

Black Dog Hunting

Black Dog Hunting is a nonprofit (501c3) whose mission is to connect and heal Military Veterans through the sport of waterfowl hunting while providing an environment of peer-based mentoring and counseling.  We do this across the country with a focus on mental health, providing once in a lifetime peer-based experiences in the outdoors.

Elite Veterans Outfitters

Elite Veteran Outfitters (EVO) is a 501c3 non-profit organization founded in 2022 to provide cost-free hunting and fishing experiences for veterans.

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.
