Our Mission

To honor our veterans by providing a place where they and their families can heal, reconnect, and find strength together in the great American outdoors—because no one who served, or their loved ones, should ever feel alone in their battle for peace.

“Serving Those Who Served”

Veterans & Family Members

At HERO, we are dedicated to serving veterans and their loved ones by creating opportunities for connection, healing, and growth. Through retreats, guided and self-guided hunting experiences, resource fairs, and wellness summits, we provide safe and supportive spaces where veterans and their families can come together, build relationships, and find strength in community.

Whether you are looking for time in the outdoors, a chance to connect with others who understand your journey, or access to valuable resources, HERO is here for you.

Call to Action

A Big Year Ahead for HERO — And Veterans Need You

In 2026, HERO will host more than 20 events—and counting—dedicated to helping veterans and their families reconnect, recharge, and find healing in the outdoors.

These experiences range from family days and community events like our Adventure Race, Ruck March, Clay Shoot, and Haunted Trail to guided turkey, pheasant, deer, and fishing trips for veterans and active-duty service members.

Each event creates moments of camaraderie, support, and peace that many veterans struggle to find after service.

But we can’t do it alone.

Sponsors and volunteers make these life-changing experiences possible.
Join us in making 2026 our most impactful year yet.
