Rock climbing and Ecotherapy
Outdoor Wellness Group conducts veteran-led, professionally guided outdoor rock climbing and mountaineering expeditions for US Veterans and Servicemembers.
Why Climb? What if I have never climbed before?
Rock climbing and mountaineering provide prolonged natural immersion, intense physical/mental challenge, and communal practice of resilience and self-reliance. For veterans and servicemembers, these elements are therapeutic with regards to quality of life, transition from service and life purpose.
We provide expeditions throughout the year for active-duty groups and veterans. Please check out our schedule and get in touch.

OWG provides 5-day (mon-fri) outdoor rock climbing expeditions for crews of 10 servicemembers. Veteran guides set positive conditions for crews to learn to overcome fear-inducing obstacles as a resilient team in a wilderness setting devoid of technology, substances, advertising, or other distractions. Crews that can mountaineer together function better, walk away with high-level tangible skills, and understand their true capabilities.
