If you
are looking for adventure, time to de-compress, or have a love of all things
outdoors, I think I may have found some info that you’ll really be interested
in. The program is called Higher Ground, and was emailed to me by our Caregiver
Support Coordinator.
Higher
Ground is basically an organization that offers weeklong therapeutic sports
camps for Veterans (and their spouses/caregivers/supporters) with
TBI/PTSD/Poly. Some of the outdoor adventures include: winter sports, fly
fishing, rafting, and paddle sports; but more than that, they offer an
opportunity to break away from our everyday struggles and connect with groups
of other Veterans and their spouses who are fighting the same battles that you
may be fighting. I’ve heard great things about it so far and have just
submitted our application.
The
best part in all this- ALL costs are covered for both the Veteran and their spouse,
and the camps are demographically oriented to the needs and location of the Vet
and spouse. Not to mention they also provide an additional three years of
follow up and activities openings, resources at home to cover any unmet needs,
and have a reintegration budget to provide goods and services needed to continue
a healthy recreation lifestyle. All in all, one hell of a program for qualifying
participants. If you or your warrior is interested and want to know more about the qualification requirements, check out their site and

Take care, and live well!
