At Therapeutic Recreation Group (TRG), we believe in the transformative power of community and activity. Our mission is to restore hope, independence, and well-being for veterans, first responders, and their families by harnessing the healing benefits of therapeutic recreation. Through outdoor activities, peer connections, and ongoing support, we help those who have given so much to our communities reclaim joy, purpose, and a sense of belonging.

WHAT WE DO

Every day, countless veterans and first responders face challenges stemming from physical injuries, mental health struggles, or the weight of their service. At TRG, we address these challenges head-on by:

  • Providing Therapeutic Outdoor Experiences: From fishing trips to hiking adventures, our programs create safe spaces for individuals to decompress, reconnect with nature, and rediscover activities they love-or try something new.
  • Building Supportive Communities: We bring together like-minded individuals who share similar experiences. These connections foster understanding, camaraderie, and lasting friendships.
  • Promoting Long-Term Wellness: Our follow-up programs ensure participants continue to grow, heal, and thrive. We track progress and provide ongoing support to help them achieve independence in life’s activities.
WHY IT MATTERS

The day-to-day grind can be overwhelming for those who have served on the front lines. Studies show that outdoor recreation and peer support can significantly reduce stress, improve mental health, and even lower suicide rates among veterans and first responders. By engaging in meaningful activities within a supportive community, participants often take the first steps toward healing and carry those positive changes into their daily lives.

Testimonials

TRG allowed me to experience duck hunting which is something I have never done before. For those few days I wasn’t a firefighter, husband, or father. I was just another guy getting to know some new friends and share an unforgettable experience in the outdoors. I now have everything I need to recreate my experience, share it with others, and make new memories. Thank you TRG for everything y’all are doing. It really is making a difference!

I was blessed to attend my first official hunt with TRG in May of 2023. Alife changing experience to say the least. To attend an event with other warriors who served allowed me to be open and vulnerable to sharing my struggles but it also allowed me to hear their stories and know I was not alone/. it gave me a new skill/hobby that I could do not only with other service members but also with my family. one of the most fun events i have been to in years.

TRG gave me the opportunity to get out and connect with people from similar backgrounds who understand my experiences. I was able to share my story and enjoy doing something new with likeminded individuals that I can now call friends. Before the hunt I was starting to shut down and close myself off from others. TRG helped me to realize that going outside and engaging with others is the healthiest way to take care of myself. I have a lifelong respect for the organization and the people that work hard and donate their time and resources to put on these events! Thank you all for allowing me to be a part of this community.

The hunting trip provided by TRG was a wonderful time to share lived experiences between a brotherhood. The trip provided me an opportunity to learn a new activity I never would have done. Each day after hunting, there was no worry about having to prepare dinner as it was part of the package. This gave me the chance to sit down and enjoy the time with the group and talk about things most people would never understand. One of the biggest stress relievers was knowing the generous sponsors to TRG enabled this trip to be free. Thank you again to TRG and the sponsors for their generosity!

I attended the TRG duck hunt at Legends Cove, this by far has been the best experience I have had being around like minded people. I was able to make lifelong connections that I can rely on any time I need something.

Going on the trip with TRG was an amazing opportunity. It was nice to get away from all the stress of work and enjoy the relaxation of the great outdoors. I had never gone duck hunting before so I was pushed out of my comfort zone and enjoyed getting to learn something new.
