Heroes on the Water - Junction City Arkansas
About Heroes on the Water
Founded in 2007, Heroes on the Water is a 501(c)3 non-profit that provides recreational wellness experiences. Our primary modality is kayak fishing, which has proven cognitive and emotional benefits. These programs incorporate structured activities in a pressure-free environment, creating opportunities for community building and personal healing. Our participants receive much-needed camaraderie and support.
A dedicated group organizes our events at no cost to participants or their families. There is no prior experience or equipment required. Recurring activities provide participants with consistent access to healing support and involvement in a community of people with shared experiences.
In 2018, we officially expanded our services to include first responders and their families. Our ultimate objective is to empower these heroes to make positive changes in their lives, strengthen their family bonds, and make a lasting, positive impact on their community.
OUR MISSION
To provide wellness and community to our heroes and their families through kayak fishing and the outdoors
OUR VISION
A future where there are no barriers for our heroes and their families to experience the therapeutic power of the outdoors
