Skeleton Crew Adventures is a 501(c)3 nonprofit that offers Adventure Therapy to America's warriors. Their mission is to provide relief and opportunity to veterans, military service members, and their families through sail training, coastal cruising excursions, and offshore sailing expeditions.
Adventure therapy (AT) is a powerful tool for mental health professionals to use in natural settings. It kinesthetically engages clients on cognitive, affective, and behavioral levels, providing a unique and effective way to help those suffering from mental health issues.
One organization that is utilizing adventure therapy in a unique way is Skeleton Crew Adventures. They specialize in providing veterans and first responders living with Post-Traumatic Stress the opportunity to heal at sea using research-based methods of learning to live with trauma through adventure therapy.
We recently had the opportunity to join Skeleton Crew Adventures on a sailing excursion in Galveston Bay and document their mission. Our short documentary, sponsored by SIG Sauer USA, is now live on our YouTube channel. In it, we learn more about what Skeleton Crew Adventures does and how sailing is an effective form of veteran adventure therapy.
The experience on the water was truly incredible, and we feel honored to work with organizations like Skeleton Crew Adventures. Remember that every purchase made through our website, a portion goes to Skeleton Crew to help support their mission, now through the end of March.
Please enjoy our documentary and learn more about the incredible work that Skeleton Crew Adventures is doing for our veterans and first responders. Their mission is truly inspiring and we hope you will support them in any way you can.
Today we want to share the story of our Founder and Chief Product Officer, Christian Meyers. He’s our Director of Media’s brother, close friend of our CEO and our Director of Communications, and an inspiration to everyone at Terra Arma.
He’s one of those people you can talk to for hours and you always learn something new in his presence. He’s also incredibly humble, so we’re honored to share his story to help you understand more about Terra Arma and our mission.
