ABOUT WILD WARRIOR ADVENTURE
Wild Warrior Adventure (WWA) exists to encourage those who have served / continue to serve in the U.S. Armed Forces, have risked their lives to defend our freedom and have sustained wounds, including the invisible wounds of combat operational stress injuries, and the stress of the rigors of military service.
We serve our Warriors and their families through providing spiritual outdoor adventures in exceptional environments, away from the distractions of daily life, to find freedom from bondage, to build emotional and spiritual resiliency, and to lead healthy, God-centered lives.
Wild Warrior Adventure partners with various military organizations and commands such as Military Chaplaincy, Veteran’s Administration Staff, The Master’s Program, other Veteran Service Organizations, and our Alumni to identify Veterans and Service Members who would benefit from the WWA Adventure.
Through the generous support of individuals, organizations, and corporations, we are able to fund the transport of attendees to our outdoor adventure locations where they will be housed, fed (physically, emotionally and spiritually), and treated like VIPs. As Alumni of WWA, they will always be a part of our family as we continue to offer aftercare programs and opportunities for ongoing fellowship.
It has been proven that the adventure of fly fishing and outdoor activities, great food, hospitality, and fellowship around the fire can create an environment where significant conversations take place. These intentional experiences and conversations lead to healing, freedom, and a renewed hope. This creates the environment and bond that allow our Alumni to return home, encouraged to serve their families, communities, and fellow Veterans and Service Members.
WHO IS WWA?
WWA was formed by men who love fly fishing and have a heart for the sacrifice and service of Combat Veterans. Bonded by the significant life impact of The Wild Adventure, WWA founders give back to active duty and retired Veterans, including those experiencing combat operational stress injuries.
WWA Board Members are committed to the healing of emotional, moral and spiritual wounds of Combat Veterans referred by Military Chaplains, associated Military Veterans ministries, VA therapists and physicians and other Veterans organizations serving Veterans with combat stress injuries.
Our trips feature daily fly fishing excursions, each man sharing his personal story in a confidential setting and group discussions with questions extracted from John Eldredge’s book, “Wild at Heart”. Using this proven heart-healing program, participants are encouraged to bury their burdens in the wilderness, accept forgiveness and healing, leading Veterans to a renewed purpose for their lives.
Armed with nourished hearts and a Biblical understanding of tools available to restore life relationships, warriors recommit to their wives, families and friends. The new band of WWA brothers pledge ongoing encouragement for each other’s victorious daily warfare against spiritual enemies.
Alumni are asked to refer Veteran friends needing encouragement to WWA, and to serve them in their journey of healing, restoration and camaraderie within the growing WWA Brotherhood.
