Adventure:
OEW expanded our programs in 2018 to include Adventure. Encompassing many facets of endurance and physically-rigorous challenges, the OEW Adventure program answers the call of those wounded veterans who choose to push longer and harder than our typical Athletic Events. With activities such as rucks, mountain climbing, multi-day biking tours, and more... OEW strives to provide safe and challenging activities full of adventure and personal satisfaction towards setting even higher goals and breaking the barriers of adaptability.
As an Operation Enduring Warrior program, OEW archery empowers and motivates our honorees by teaching and practicing the art and sport of archery with a focus on mindfulness, dedication, and precision.
Athletic Events:
OEW offers wounded veterans the opportunity to physically challenge themselves through overcoming seemingly insurmountable feats. The OEW Team and supporters join alongside our Honorees in a variety of physically challenging events such as obstacle course racing, hand cycling, triathlons and more.
Skydiving:
OEW Skydive’s mission is to facilitate skydiving for wounded veterans from initial training through to the achievement of their USPA A-license certification. This program offers an unparalleled sense of freedom of flight and endless mental, physical, and emotional rehabilitative solutions in what can feel like a completely new dimension in their lives, often becoming a lifelong hobby.
Warriors Voice:
Designed to create interaction between wounded veterans and the community, we send our heroes to public speaking courses in order to increase their comfort level with engaging large crowds and obtain a new, lifelong skill. They can then engage in public speaking opportunities with schools, community and veteran groups, corporations, news outlets and other charitable organizations.
