Details
Who: This program is designed to accommodate veterans who have sustained a moderate to significant injury. Injuries may include but are not limited to brain Injuries, PTSD, and/or amputees. Due to the social aspect of outdoor adventures and camping, participants must be ready to enjoy the company of other people (including raft guides).
What: A classic western river trip. Floating down the San Juan river in rafts will provide us great access to a spectacular wilderness environment while supporting veterans who have mobility restrictions. In addition to exploring the wilderness environment, participants will be introduced to the unique prehistoric culture of the four-corners region.
Where: The San Juan River in southeast Utah. The San Juan cuts through beautiful canyon country and offers mild white water that is suitable for veterans with significant injury. Sandy beaches and camps, ancient rock art, and beautiful natural scenery will be unforgettable highlights of the trip.
Why: A multi-day river trip is an ideal setting for military veterans to reintegrate, acquire new knowledge and skills together, create bonds, and have fun together, and relax. Away from everyday routines and daily life distractions one can find new appreciations for life and rediscover their strength and solidity as we travel down the beautiful San Juan River.
