Are you ready to experience the outdoors?

Welcome to Outdoor Recreation with PVA! Our programs are designed in partnership with professionals in the adaptive Outdoor Recreation realm. People of all skill levels and Outdoor Recreation experience are welcome in our program.

Benefits: Extensive research supports the significant benefits of outdoor sports and recreation for Veterans with disabilities, including improvements in mental health, social connection, and physical rehabilitation.

Learning to navigate the outdoors can boost confidence and self-esteem, as well as provide a new set of skills that will allow Veterans to incorporate outdoor sports into their daily lives by participating with friends and family.

Expert Guides: PVA partners with organizations dedicated to adaptive Outdoor Recreation, who are experts in their field and continuously engage in making the outdoors more accessible.

Comfortable Ratios: Each outdoor experience is limited to a small number of PVA members to enhance the experience and ensure safety for participants and guides.
