Our Adventure Therapy programs combine outdoor challenges with clinical insight to help veterans and first responders rediscover strength, resilience, and community.
Adrenaline Therapy
Immersive, multi-day experiences designed to challenge the body and reawaken purpose. Push limits. Find strength. Reconnect with who you are.
Team Building
Stronger together. Structured challenges that rebuild trust, camaraderie, and the bond of shared mission among those who’ve served.
Relaxation Therapy
Mindful healing through intentional rest and recovery. Breathe. Reset. Experience the restorative power of nature and stillness.
Experimental Therapy
The future of recovery. Cutting-edge approaches including HBOT and equine therapy that expand what’s possible for healing veterans.

REAL STORIES.
In Their Words.
Hear directly from veterans, first responders, and partners whose lives have been touched by The IGY6; Foundation. Their stories show the real difference your support makes.
“Struggling with post traumatic stress symptoms, the IGY6; foundation created a space that benefits those who can’t afford adventure while socializing with others who have served. These events create once in a lifetime experiences for those who struggle managing daily activities. I highly recommend this organization for those who are looking for alternative ways to attain those brain chemicals they received during deployments in a healthy environment.”

“The IGY6; Foundation has been putting in work every day to help Veterans and their families, getting them connected to healing events the ranch, in race cars, and many other family-building events.
They’ve been instrumental in filling in the gaps left by the VA and other providers that keep Veterans from seeking help. I cannot say enough good things about this organization!”
