We invite volunteers and their families to join us as we spend the morning with Project Healing Waters! Project Healing Waters helps active military service personnel and Veterans in need through a dedicated, developed curriculum of fly fishing, fly casting, fly tying, and fly rod building. As a leading nonprofit in the area of therapeutic outdoor recreation, PHW uses the sport of fly fishing as an intervention. The restorative healing powers of nature and the outdoors are well-documented: for our Veteran and military participants, the Camaraderie, Connectedness, and community found in our programs, alongside the symbiotic relationship between veteran and volunteer, directly correlates to increased sense of belonging, resilience, and post traumatic growth.
The Omaha Post has been teaming up with PHW for over 6 years. Our Post volunteers and their families help serve lunch, assist the participants with learning how to fly fish or just visit with the participants. Even if you don’t know how to fly fish, we invite you to join us – we can teach you too!
If you are interested in joining us you can just show up or contact Rob Hufford at lawrence.hufford.2@us.af.mil or 301-803-8251.
