Community Impact.
Project 214 helps veterans reconnect through outdoor therapy, shared adventure, and community support. Through hiking, kayaking, fishing, and retreat-style experiences, we create low-pressure environments where veterans build relationships, develop confidence, and stay connected well beyond a single event.

Why Outdoor Therapy Works
- Veterans reconnect through shared adventure — hiking, kayaking, fishing, and retreats.
- Structured veteran hike groups run 5–15 participants; Project 214 averages 9.
- Reported benefits: reduced stress & anxiety, mental clarity, camaraderie, and reconnection.
- A growing pipeline: ~1 in 3 attendees on each trip is a returning member.
* Continuing-engagement figure is a directional goal grounded in comparable veteran outdoor-therapy programs (ClinicalTrials NCT03997344; Journal of Veterans Studies 2025; VA Marion), not a measured outcome.
