This event is open to all TAPS adult survivors who have experienced the loss of a military or veteran loved one.
Your TAPS family is right here in your community and we welcome all survivors seeking connection to join us for a day of exploration and stewardship in the Huron-Manistee National Forest! All populations, ages and accessibility levels are welcome to attend, but please remember that our entire day will be spent outside. The location of this event is remote with limited cell service and amenities.
This experience is made possible thanks to our partner, National Park Trust. For more information, visit the National Park Trust.
Any gear and equipment needed for this experience will be provided to families at no cost.
