Our Purpose
Daily, men and women serve America through careers in the Armed Forces, Law Enforcement, Fire, and Emergency Medical Services. In doing so, they risk their lives tending to the injured, fighting back foes, and dealing with natural disasters. These are America’s Protectors. Unfortunately, many carry emotional, spiritual, or physical scars from negative service experiences. These wounds should not define our Protectors.
Spoken Outdoors serves America’s Protectors by hosting events throughout the U.S. focusing on outdoor experiences that educate, stretch boundaries, challenge limits, and create confidence.
We believe in the healing power of this planet we all call home. Studies have demonstrated that time outdoors creates a positive physiological reaction, whether enjoying the beautiful green of the forest, the blues of the lakes and rivers, or the open sky in the Flatlands. We find success through client smiles and enjoyment of the beautiful outdoors.
We offer events where clients can learn a new skill, challenge their abilities, and occasionally truly unplug. Through these events, America’s Protectors have the opportunity to decompress and build lasting relationships with our volunteers and the event hosts.
What starts as a chance to redefine their normal can turn into a relationship where a willingness to be vulnerable creates healing. Over time, our clients develop deep, personal relationships that enable them to rekindle their heart of service.
