Description

Team Vetscape is an extreme sports and outdoor adventure-based community that brings veterans and civilians together on mission-focused teams. These teams provide the structure, training, support, and camaraderie needed for veterans struggling to cope with life after the military. Veterans develop new skills, new purpose, and new teammates for life. Team Vetscape:

  • Facilitates extreme sporting and outdoor recreation events that provide therapeutic alternatives to destructive high-risk activities (eg. drugs, alcohol, violence)
  • Recruits and trains veteran athletes for the challenges
  • Establishes a social and support community for Team Vetscape veterans facing mental/emotional difficulties
Vetscape Media produces and promotes original media content showcasing the talents and inspirational journeys of veteran athletes. In doing so, Vetscape helps civilians better understand the veteran experience, and redefines the public's perception of veterans from one of stigma to one of strength. Vetscape media:
  • Produces videos, photos, and articles featuring veteran athletes overcoming extreme physical challenges
  • Documents veterans' personal stories and positive transformations to inspire other veterans facing similar struggles
  • Promotes Team Vetscape athletes through social media channels and blogs
