Military Family Programs

Who We Serve

The Park Trust supports a broad range of military communities, including active military and Gold Star Families, military family survivors, National Guard and Reserve, veterans, their families, and caregivers.

What We Do

We provide these dedicated servicemen and women and their families with memorable outdoor park experiences in a variety of public parks, lands, and waters nationwide.

How To Help

Help us continue to provide meaningful outdoor experiences designed to connect military families to their local communities and public parks, lands & waters.

In June 2025, the Park Trust brought Marines to New River Gorge National Park and Preserve (WV) for a weekend of whitewater rafting, hiking, and connection. Be part of their adventure – watch the video below:

Our Partnerships:

In 2025, in partnership with military installations and military-focused nonprofits nationwide, we engaged over 1,200 individuals from 350 families in 50 outdoor outings. From up-close encounters with wildlife in Everglades National Park (FL) to camping and fly-fishing on the Gibbon River in Yellowstone National Park (WY), families explored the outdoors while learning about its many educational and health benefits, cultivating lifelong recreational habits.
