Trail to Recovery is a Virginia-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded by veterans, for veterans. We take veterans off-road — into the mountains, onto the trails, around the campfire — because we believe the outdoors does something that a waiting room never can.

We don't run a therapy program. We build community. We give veterans a mission, a trail, and people who understand them without needing things explained. What happens after that; the decompression, the connection, the sense of belonging — that's not a program outcome. That's just what happens when the right people are outside together.

Our goal is $1,200.

Every dollar goes directly to this camping trip- food, supplies, gear and making sure every veteran who shows up does so as an equal. No veteran pays to attend. No one is sponsored or singled out. Everyone shows up the same way- as part of the crew.

This is our first year. We don't have years of data to point to yet. What we have is a clear mission, a strong community, and a deep belief that veterans deserve more than a waitlist.

Your donation puts veterans on the trail.

That's it. That's exactly where your money goes.
