Scuba and Pool Therapy
Through the use of basic SCUBA gear and confined pool settings, Heroes Below offers an underwater zero gravity experience, floating in 6-8 feet of water while listening to your bubbles.
No experience necessary, and everything is provided for veterans, service members and first responders.
Through the experience of donning scuba equipment and going beneath the surface of the water, participants can experience a new world; one that offers new perspectives. The simplicity of the Heroes Below program is that you don't need to know how to swim because all we do is float.
Equine Therapy
Central Texas is home to many stables and equine programs and Adventures for Heroes wants to get you back in the saddle. (Or in the saddle if you’re new to horseback riding.
Join us for a program for active-duty service members and veterans partnering with horses and veteran volunteers. The goal of this program is to improve the lives of servicemen and women who have suffered injury in the line of duty, helping them adjust physically and emotionally to their post-war lives. The cost for veterans and service members to participate in three 8-week sessions is 100% covered through fundraising efforts and grants.
