This week, we pause to honour those who have served, and to celebrate the connections we build through our veteran‑focused programs.

Through programs like Heroes and partnerships like Team Semper Fi, we share the mountain, the trail, and moments of community. Often, outdoor recreation reveals the power of possibility, of people coming together, and of friendships formed through accomplishing challenging things together.

We’re grateful for every person who joins us, and proud to stand alongside veterans and their families, today and every day.
