Our Programs

At Travis mills foundation, we are proud to serve post-9/11 recalibrated veterans and their families through various programs that help these heroic men and women overcome physical and emotional obstacles.

The Family Program is for the recalibrated veteran, spouse, and children, or a guest. The schedule is packed with adapted sports and activities to meet the needs of all. However, participation is not required; families are welcome to use the time to rest and relax. Family programming is offered year-round, including kayaking, zoo visits, wheelchair basketball, archery, dog sledding, ice fishing, snow shoeing and more.
Progressive & Alternative Training for Helping Heroes is funded by a grant from the Avalon Action Alliance to teach combat veterans and first responders how to “struggle well” and achieve post-traumatic growth. This program is offered monthly, the first 7 days are held at the Retreat; the remaining 3 months are delivered virtually with check ins.
TMF provides programming designed specifically for caregivers of recalibrated veterans to encourage self-care, rest, relaxation and bonding with others in relatable situations. These include spouses, partners, parents and even siblings.
The Recalibrate Program capitalizes on a participant’s motivation after attending the Retreat by providing financial assistance, goal setting, and long-term follow-up. This program has provided everything from helping to pave a driveway, providing in-home cleaning services, a computer to help with a home business, an electric bike to help a veteran stay healthy by safely riding to work, and helping with moving expenses for someone that needed a healthier environment.
n our Ambassador program, recalibrated veterans who have attended a program at our Retreat are selected and trained to represent TMF at various events across the country. It is a way for our participants to continue to be more involved with the organization, give back, and share their story of the impact TMF has had on them. In 2022, we welcomed our third class of ambassadors.
Virtual programming was developed in response to the pandemic. We send families boxes of supplies, and then they spend part of their weekend with us virtually, using those supplies for various activities, from arts and crafts to yoga or a cooking class. We have also established nationwide partnerships to support activities that we can’t offer at the Retreat. We offer quarterly trips to the Atlanta Aquarium to allow veterans to either snorkel with whale sharks and other gentle giants of the sea or to shark dive.
