physically in some of nature’s most incredible wilderness settings. We create a safe space and encourage them to reflect on their past, recognize where they are in the present and then look with positivity to the future. We do this in a spirit of camaraderie; where veterans come together to encourage and inspire one another. The No Barriers experience serves as both an opportunity for growth and a catalyst for change as the participating veterans stretch their boundaries, innovate through adversity, and step up to serve others.
