MISSION - WHAT WE DO

Veterans Adventure Group is a non-profit that connects veterans with nature using extreme sports. V.A.G. is grounded in the idea that military service trains personnel to think, act, and live at exceptional levels, strengths that should be upheld in veterans after separation from service. Extreme sports are used to connect veterans to their peers, the outdoors, and their local community, thereby increasing participants' sense of purpose as catalysts for change in their environment. Free of charge, V.A.G. outfits and trains veterans in small teams for a group mission, such as mountaineering in Washington State, scuba diving in Florida, or running a 100-mile trail race in Alabama. The overarching mission of the organization is to empower veterans to find their next mission in life.

SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT

Mountaineering We select a team of local veterans and provide them with the equipment and training for mountaineering, ultimately preparing them for a challenging culmination exercise. A 2016 team of Tennessee veterans successfully climbed to the summit of Mount Rainier. We are currently training a new team of veterans based out of the Pacific Northwest for a similar mission. Skydiving We help a team of veterans get their Class A skydiving license and the proper equipment required. We also connect them with local drop zones in the community. S.C.U.B.A Diving We train a team of veterans to obtain their open water certificate and engage them in a culmination exercise at a challenging dive site. Rappelling We train a team through the basics of caving until they have mastered the advanced skills to rappel 846 feet at Bridge Day in West Virginia. Mountain Biking Our mountain biking team is based out of Knoxville, TN and focuses on getting veterans on bikes, providing the training and equipment needed, and fostering a community around mountain biking.
