HunTherapy is 501(c)3 organization committed to providing outdoor recreation opportunities for Veterans and First Responders
As a fellow Veteran (19D Army Cavalry Scout) and the father of an active duty Cavalry Scout, all I am looking for, is to develop trust and resiliency with those we serve. Working towards a hope, with those we get the privilege to serve, we live to companion others through the stages of their lives. Most significantly, their losses. That’s where people tend to drown. It’s often said, you don’t drown in the river unless you stay in it! For me, HunTherapy was a connection to the outdoors that provided meaning and purpose when I needed it most in life. The vision of HunTherapy was to win in my own life and not drown myself! Ultimately it was fiinding meaning, purpose and values that drove me through my problems and was the pathway towards HunTherapy. This passion led me to pursue my Doctor of Integrated Chaplaincy and the unfolding of HunTherapy as my mission in life.
HunTherapy‘s focus is how archery, golf, shooting, wilderness therapy and hunting in all forms; helps to reduce the symptoms that plague our military, Veterans and First Responders. HunTherapy companions others to restore a sense of meaning and purpose, using outdoor recreation therapy, and to heal from wounds suffered in service when active duty military, Veterans and First Responders have had their meaning-making system fractured from traumatic experiences, and loss. HunTherapy holds various community driven activities to help those who serve others, find the best pathways to internal peace, offered through outdoor experiences, creative Integrative workshops and purpose driven life connections. HunTherapy is a holistic approach to caring for our military, Veterans and First Responders.
