Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Veteran Excursion Program (VET-EX)
The Vet-Ex Program provides free outdoor excursions in the Fall and Spring to Estes Park, Colorado, where Veterans can experience the great outdoors inside Rocky Mountain National Park! These excursions are designed to build camaraderie, establish sense of purpose and increase quality of life. Through Veteran-led small group discussions, Veterans are educated on the difficulties of societal reintegration, military transition and other important topics. Veteran must apply and be selected by a committee to participate in this program, due to limited space.
Veteran Recreation Program (VET-REC)
The Vet-Rec Program encourages Veterans to engage in outdoor therapy, more specifically hiking and camping. This program is aimed to motivate Veterans to reconnect socially, while reducing the levels of stress, anxiety and depression in an outdoor setting. We host monthly hikes across the DFW area.
Veteran Connection Program (VET-CONNECT)
The Vet-Connect Program was established to bring Veterans together from all generations, enrich connections, network and provide sense of purpose, giving both older and younger Veterans a sense of unity, as well as community. Every month we host a Veteran Luncheon at local assisted living residences.
Freedom Peak 1 Program (2019)
The Warrior’s Keep has partnered with 40/40 Adventures to lead an expedition of 13 veterans to Tanzania, Africa. The purpose of FREEDOM PEAK 1 is to provide a once in a lifetime opportunity for a group of veterans to experience a journey to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro. Standing at 19,340 feet, Kilimanjaro will challenge the body, mind and soul of each team member, while empowering them to overcome certain difficulties many veterans face at home, such as: depression, anxiety, societal reintegration, military transition or stress brought on from a traumatic experience. We have named this program FREEDOM PEAK 1 in honor of the tallest peak in Africa, Uhuru Peak. Uhuru is the Swahili word for freedom and it’s our hope that each participant achieves a sense of freedom while on this Tanzanian trek to the Roof of Africa!
