Adventuring
Our adventures are dedicated to military and first responder families, nonprofit leaders, and youth. Military & First Responder Families: The healing power of faith, family, and the great outdoors has saved countless heroes. We're 100% successful in suicide prevention because we focus on what matters most to military and first responder personnel. We have resources to restore mental health reactively, but we favor a proactive approach in preparing for traumatic stress. If you're ready for a better way forward, want to learn how to hunt, fish, and survive in the wild, then sign up for an adventure today. Hunting and fishing gives warriors a mission, youth a sense of worth, and women independence. For warriors, our goal is to reignite a purpose-driven life and provide them a platform to make a difference from. We're building America's future defenders more resilient than ever before. By establishing childhood roots in the outdoors, fostering a personal relationship with God, and encouraging honor and respect for their parents, youth are blossoming into community impact agents. Women are learning outdoor skills, gaining confidence and independence, and building stronger relationships. Leaders: Nonprofit and church leaders face burnout from Vicarious Trauma. Our mission is to refuel them through outdoor adventures, train them on best practices, and offer network support. Youth Hunting Camps November 2015 launched our strategic partnership with Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission to host youth hunts through the Youth Hunting Program of Florida. Participants learn weapon safety, tracking, biology, wilderness survival, meat processing, orienting, wild game cooking, and hunting. Our approach builds moral and ethical outdoorsmen dedicated to protecting natural resources. To date, we have hosted over 2,500 families, harvesting countless deer, hog, turkey, alligator, squirrel, duck, coyote, elk, quail, iguana, and dove.  ​Our Aquatics Division is supercharged with Hoorah Therapy. Sure, there's times when we grab a cane pole and relax, but for the most part we're on, in, or under the water pursuing dinner for our friends and family. Living in the now is important, but it can be helpful to focus on your next adventure when things get tough.  Program activities include: Fishing Scalloping Lobstering Spearfishing Bowfishing Gigging Whitewater Kayaking/canoeing/SUP River and Springs exploration Shrimping Surfing Beach BBQs
