The Heroes Project

The Heroes Project has put our injured war veterans on the highest summits of the world, crushing every challenge we set. With our new veteran retreat center in Mt. Baldy, we will be able to have a place for our veterans to meet and suit up for their hiking experience. Climbing a mountain, both literally and figuratively, takes preparation, determination, and a healthy mindset. Our new veteran center in the mountains is designed to provide support and inspire teamwork while boosting confidence and morale. The Heroes Project takes our military heroes on therapeutic, challenging, and transformative experiences. In partnership with our alumni (team THP), we pair our new participants with a mountain specifically chosen to challenge them physically and mentally. The physical experience of conquering their individual summits is only part of the process. The mental preparation for these treks is equally as valuable. The Heroes Project has put our injured war veterans on the highest summits of the world, crushing every challenge we set. On each expedition, The Heroes Project captures footage of our heroes' journeys to recovery. These stories of strength, resilience and the ability to triumph over the impossible are used as part of our outreach and empowerment programs to inspire the masses. From hospital bed to summit, we support our injured heroes every step of the way. Between our experience in the mountains, Team THP's commitment to their military brothers and sisters, the training programs at Equinox, and our fantastic gear partner Eddie Bauer, we set our injured heroes up for success right from minute one. Daily training, weekend trips at altitude, healthy living, and a really good taste of the great outdoors are all part of the transformative experience we provide. Climbing a mountain (both literally and figuratively) takes preparation, determination, and a healthy mindset. Our program is designed to provide support and inspire teamwork while boosting confidence and morale. In support of our Heroes, we hold an annual event, Climb for Heroes, at our local training ground in Mt. Baldy, California. At this event, we encourage our supporters to shake the hands of our injured veterans, thank them for their service, and soak up a bit of their intense badassery. In order to carry out our important mission, THP relies on generous donations from our supporters, the sale of our awesome THP gear at our swag shop, and participant fundraising for our annual Climb for Heroes event.

The Veteran Retreat Center will be the only veteran retreat in Southern California and will be the avenue we can use to deliver our "Expedition for Heroes" key program to more veterans both in California and nationally.
The Center will allow daily training, weekend trips at altitude, healthy living, and a really good taste of the great outdoors are all part of the transformative experience we provide. The Heroes Project has put our injured war veterans on the highest summits of the world helping them overcome obstacles through physical, mental, and emotional therapeutic training. The Heroes Project makes the impossible a reality by empowering our injured community through physical and emotional training, allowing them to explore the farthest reaches of themselves and the world they live in. These expeditions challenge the severely wounded to redefine their personal limits post-injury. The Heroes Project inspires our injured men and women to find purpose, both physically and mentally and ignites others to do the same.
