  • Program 1 [2020]

    Photography Program:The goal of the photography session is to teach the veterans to view life from a different perspective and to open their mind to the beauty that surrounds them. The photography session encompasses many aspects of photography such as classroom instruction on exposure, lighting, night-time photography, and printing, etc. With the assistance of volunteer photography instructors, the veterans travel to various areas including Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks to photograph nature, wildlife, mountains, rivers, sunrises, and sunsets. Near the end of the session, each of the veterans choose a few of their favorite photos to print, matte and take home.Due to the COVID pandemic, this program was cancelled in 2020.

  • Program 2 [2020]

    Fly Casting and Fly Tying Instruction & Fly Fishing Trips:The Fly Fishing Therapy Session encompasses all aspects of fly fishing with fly casting instruction, a fly tying class and workshop, education on river stewardship and the etymology of our region, and fly fishing trips on the beautiful rivers, lakes, and tributaries in Jackson Hole. This session provides the opportunity for each veteran to connect with nature in a very peaceful environment. The skill and art of casting a fly is mentally therapeutic for the veterans as well as requiring focus on the use of gross motor skills. The fly tying education encourages a deep level of focus and concentration as well as challenging fine motor skills.Due to the COVID pandemic, this program was cancelled in 2020. However, four veterans still came to Jackson and were able to relax and enjoy the rural area and rugged outdoors.

  • Program 3 [2020]

    Hunting Sessions:The Elk and Antelope Hunt Therapy Sessions are made possible through the use of Wyoming Statue 32-1-705 (k), which authorizes the holder of any valid big game license to surrender said license to the department for reissuance to a veteran with disabilities, as established by the commission rule and regulation, selected and sponsored by a nonprofit charitable organization providing hunting opportunities for disabled veterans. We are grateful to have landowners and locals who wish to donate their elk and antelope hunting tags to our disabled veterans, and a dedicated team of experienced guides and outfitters that ensure a memory of a lifetime. Additionally, the organization provides for the processing and shipping of meat from the hunt to the veterans and their family.Due to the COVID pandemic, this program was cancelled in 2020.
