Family, Fishing & Fun Day

9/26/2020
September 26, 2020
Location: 
Colorado Youth Outdoors, Windsor Colorado
​Hosted by: River Deep and SCI Humanitarian Outreach Program
Participants: Operation TBI and Ft. Carson SRU

Today we are at the beautiful Colorado Youth Outdoors Swift Ponds Facility in Northern Colorado that features many ponds, a 3-D archery course and trap shooting range. Over 100 veterans and active duty soldiers from Ft. Carson and their family members are attending today. This event is all about enjoying time outdoors in the sun, fishing, and connecting with each other. Today’s group will use everything from Snoopy rods for the kids to fly rods. Many of the adults and kids on this trip have never been fishing, so when they hook up with a fish for the first time it’s wonderful to see their expressions of amazement! We are thrilled to be able to provide this new experience.
​

For lunch we are treated to a meaty feast provided and cooked up on a smoker by the All American Beef Battalion—ribeye steak, all beef hot dogs along with mashed potatoes, corn, chips and cookies! The food is fantastic and we are so grateful for their support and participation today. After lunch it’s time for some more fishing to round out the day. As with all our outings, we hope that our participants found a bit of peace today and were able to take one step closer to healing. And we hope they will join us again! 

We would like to thank all the volunteers and organizations that come together to make these large outings possible especially the staff from Belleview Spine and Wellness for volunteering with us today. They have a very helpful program that helps veterans and active duty soldiers achieve freedom from pain. We look forward to working together and sharing their program as a resource.

Equine Assited Learning

9/22/2020
September 22, 2020
Hosted by: River Deep Foundation and SCIHOP
Location: USAFA Equestrian Center, Remount Foundation
Participants: Operation TBI Freedom
​
Another amazing day at Air Force Academy! We had six Operation TBI Freedom staff members participate in the program in order to better understand the benefits and power of Equine Assisted Learning and how this type of therapy can positively impact our clients. We also learned more about the Remount Foundation organization as a whole and how they serve active-duty military, veterans, first responders and their families with free equine-assisted therapeutic activities within a healing, natural environment and a supportive community to empower them to heal physically, mentally and spiritually. We are so grateful to partner with them.

Art Class - Acrylic Painting

9/14/2020
September 14, 2020

Hosted by: 
River Deep Foundation and SCIHOP
Location: Cottonwood Center for the Arts, Colorado Springs
Participants:
Operation TBI Freedom
Another fantastic evening at the Cottonwood Center for the Arts. We had 8 Veterans and family members learning the foundations of color mixing, composition, and brush-sketching as we have with the each of the four acrylic painting classes taught by Jess Preble. This time our landscape was about mountains and nature. We had a great time listening to music, eating pizza, and spending time with other Veterans and their family members. Next month we will move on to a new series of art.

Fly Fishing with Anglers of Honor

9/12/2020
September 12, 2020
Hosted by: 
River Deep Foundation & Denver SCI HOP
Location: Lincoln Hills Fly Fishing Club - Black Hawk, CO
Participants: Operation TBI Freedom, Ft. Carson SRU

​Fly Fishing with Anglers of Honor

Our Anglers of Honor program is hosting veterans from Operation TBI Freedom as well as active duty soldiers from Ft. Carson SRU today at Lincoln Hills Fly Fishing Club. Everyone is ready to learn about Fly Fishing and try their luck in South Boulder Creek and the adjacent ponds. The weather is perfect and the water is clear. After a morning of basic instruction and some great fishing with the AOH guides everyone has netted a few beautiful trout! We head to the deck of the eco-center for special lunch treat from the Denver branch of the All American Beef Battalion—a non-profit based out of Kansas. They have brought a pull-behind smoker and will be serving ribeye steak, hot dogs, corn mash potatoes and cookies for dessert. The lunch is an amazing companion to the blue sky, sunshine and fish stories. All of the vets and soldiers are given their own Anglers of Honor fly rod with the hope that they will continue to learn, enjoy the healing waters and fish with their new fly rods. Special thanks to the All American Beef Battalion, the volunteers and guides for helping make this a spectacular day!

Dove Hunt at Valhalla Hunt Club

9/5/2020
September 5, 2020
Location: Valhalla Hunt Club - Bennett, Colorado
Hosted by: River Deep Foundation and SCIHOP
​Participants: Operation TBI Freedom

We have a group of veterans from Operation TBI gathering in a meadow by a dry creek in search of Doves. There are some flying, but they are few and far between. Everyone does manage to get some shots and put a few in the bag, but more important we are outside having fun with some friends. After the hunt we head back to Valhalla Hunt club for some lunch and to clean the birds. A big thanks to Valhalla Hunt Club for hosting this event!
