We want to thank the Detroit Free Press for sharing the story of Michigan Operation Freedom Outdoors and helping bring attention to the importance of accessible outdoor recreation for disabled veterans and individuals with health challenges.
The article highlights the heart behind MiOFO’s mission: helping people get back outside, reconnect with nature, and enjoy outdoor experiences that may have once felt out of reach. From hunting and ice fishing to other outdoor events and recreational opportunities, MiOFO works to create spaces where participants can feel supported, included, and encouraged.
For many veterans and individuals with disabilities, the outdoors can be a place of healing, connection, and renewed confidence. These experiences are about more than the activity itself — they are about building friendships, creating memories, and reminding people that adventure and community are still possible.
