Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing, a leading national nonprofit in the area of therapeutic outdoor recreation, using 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.
Started in 2024, the Monterey Chapter has grown beyond expectation ending the year with 22 participants/vets and 14 volunteers. Many of the volunteers have come from the Santa Cruz club and their leader, Brian Steckler, strongly encourages their participants to join the Santa Cruz club.
