Veterans Expeditions at Outward Bound
This Outward Bound program offers wilderness expeditions free of charge to veterans who have been deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan to encourage camaraderie and help veterans readjust after leaving the combat zone.
The program helps participating veterans build a supportive community with other war veterans; facilitates discussions on readjustment and transition challenges; and re-energizes veterans' spirits with adventures and challenges in the beautiful outdoors. Through generous funding by the Military Family Outdoor Initiative Project, a joint partnership of The Sierra Club and The Sierra Club Foundation, The Anschutz Family Foundation, and The Disabled American Veterans organization, these enriching wilderness expeditions designed for war veterans are offered at no cost to the participants.
