Support Veterans Backcountry Adventures

Outdoor Experiences for Veterans
Time outside can do more than create memories. It can provide space to reconnect, reset, and build meaningful relationships with people who understand the journey. Veterans Backcountry Adventures uses outdoor experiences to support veterans through connection, adventure, and community.
Veterans Backcountry Adventures is a nonprofit organization dedicated to enhancing the lives of veterans through outdoor recreation and adventure-based programs. Their work gives veterans opportunities to spend time in nature, share experiences, build camaraderie, and find support beyond everyday routines.
Through activities such as fly fishing, hiking, camping, and other backcountry adventures, VBA helps create a setting where veterans can challenge themselves, connect with others, and rediscover the value of time spent outdoors. These experiences can support physical well-being, mental health, confidence, and personal growth.
Why Gorge Fly Shop Supports VBA
At Gorge Fly Shop, we believe the outdoors has a powerful way of bringing people together. Rivers, trails, camps, and shared days outside can create the kind of connection that is hard to find anywhere else.
We are proud to support Veterans Backcountry Adventures and the work they do for veterans. Their mission reflects the best parts of outdoor recreation: community, healing, purpose, and the chance to experience something meaningful in wild places.
