Wounded Warrior Project believes in the power of nature and
recreation to help warriors dealing with combat stress. Project
Odyssey, an outdoor rehabilitative retreat that combines adventure
challenges with opportunities for peer support and group processing, was
created to support warriors in their recovery from combat stress.
Recreational
experiences ranging from rock climbing in the Black Hills of South
Dakota to herding cattle on Wildcatter Ranch, encourage personal growth
among participants and team building within the warrior community.
In
conjunction with the National Park Service, Project Odyssey takes place
on a variety of geographical locations over the course of five days.
Past event sites include Wildcatter Resort & Ranch in Graham, Texas;
Marriott Cocoa Beach in Miami, Florida; National Ability Center, Park
City, Utah; Acadia National Park in Maine. Each location offers a
unique experience that is different from the last and varies based on
geographical resources.
Partnering with the Vet Centers
across the country, Wounded Warrior Project recruits combat warriors
from across the country who are currently enrolled in counseling
services. Odyssey allows participants to continue their therapeutic
journey in a novel, dynamic setting with peers and support from Wounded
Warrior Project and Vet Center professionals.
