Serving America’s Protectors by hosting events throughout the U.S. focusing on outdoor experiences that educate, stretch boundaries, challenge limits, and create confidence.

At Spoken Outdoors, our mission is to serve America’s Protectors through transformative outdoor experiences. We are dedicated to supporting First Responders (Police, Fire, EMS) and Armed Forces members (Airforce, Army, Navy, Marines, Coast Guard) by providing opportunities to connect with nature and find healing and hope.

Help Us Fund Healing Outdoor Adventures

Join Us in Making a Profound Impact!
Our brave first responders and military personnel face immense stress and trauma in their line of duty. These heroes dedicate their lives to protecting others, often at the cost of their own mental well-being. We believe they deserve more than gratitude—they deserve opportunities to heal.

Why This Matters
Time spent in nature is more than recreation; it’s a proven path to recovery. Research shows that outdoor experiences can significantly reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. For those who have endured the weight of service, these benefits are life-changing. Nature offers a restorative environment where they can find peace, reflect, and reconnect with themselves.

How We Help
Through organized outdoor adventures—fishing trips, serene water explorations, and moments of quiet in natural settings—we create spaces for these courageous individuals to breathe, bond, and heal. These experiences foster camaraderie among peers who understand their journey, providing a much-needed escape from the relentless pressures of daily life.

Your Impact
By donating to our campaign, you are directly contributing to the mental well-being of those who have dedicated their lives to protecting and serving us. Your support will help us create a safe and supportive space where they can heal and build lasting bonds with their peers.

Testimonials

“Spoken Outdoors is exactly what first responders need to stay healthy, grounded and connected to what’s great in this world. Heath offered my Clinical team a day on the river. Honestly as a person who never fished before I wasn’t expecting much but a nice day in a boat on the river. What I did get was an incredible experience of connecting with my boat mates, pure joy as I caught my first fish (and 11 more) and challenged myself to do something I may have never ever done on my own…hold the fish I caught. I laughed, I learned, I relaxed and I connected with some amazing people. It was exactly what I needed as a busy clinician that serves the First Responder population. Thank you Heath and Brandon for giving me an experience I will remember fondly for years to come. You truly understand what our first responders need to reset and decompress from their ever demanding world. Keep it up. You have my complete support for your program.”

“It was truly a blessing to be invited and to be a part of something you all are doing. There is something special about being on the river, fishing with good people. I recently lost my mom and the burdens keep getting heavier. I appreciate the conversations we shared. God is in control. Being on the water without interruption from life was a great reset. Reflecting on recent incidents really make me think about the trials Job had to endure during his life. All is temporary and all is done with the grace of God. Thank you for putting together an organization that helps people reset and get back in the fight.”
