Forging Ahead

Please note this program is specifically designed for survivors grieving the death of a military loved one.

Grief is a difficult, arduous journey, so why shouldn't it also be spectacular?

TAPS Expeditions are longer, outdoor skills-based events that require dedication, preparation and a real sense of adventure. Professional guides lead small groups of survivors through some of the world’s most challenging and inspiring landscapes — through the ancient city of Machu Picchu, to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro and more.

Leading up to the expedition, survivors will form a team bond and gain familiarity with each other through monthly team meetings to discuss training regimens, gear lists and more. Your team will be a source of encouragement as you train for this rigorous adventure and an ongoing support network long after the TAPS Expedition is complete.

You’ll complete a TAPS Expedition feeling proud, powerful — and probably a little tired.

Join us for an adventure on a TAPS Expedition. If you're looking for other ways to connect with peers, TAPS offers a variety of programs for survivors.
