Mission: To take what we have been given and give it back, to make a differnece in the lives of others. We were born to make a difference to contribute and share our gifts with the world.

Since receiving our 501 (c) (3) designation in September 2019, we have shared our mission and love of the outdoors with well over eight hundred children that struggle from a range of physical and intellectual disabilities to children that were battling cancer. These adventures have taken us to Colorado, up to Wisconsin, over to Louisiana and several points in between, as well as using our local regional resources. Some people may see these trips as just hunting or fishing adventures; however, often these trips help parents of the children that we are representing to recognize that their child is capable of so much more than even they expected. They have witnessed their child harvest their first deer when they did not think they could sit in a blind and shoot a rifle. They have observed their child catch their first fish after thinking they would not enjoy a few hours on a boat, and they have watched their child play with other children in an outdoor setting without being judged or being seen as different. Additionally, these adventures allow an outlet for parents to network and confide in other parents that have gone through or are currently going through similar situations to their own.
