Operation Rise & Conquer

Every person in America has some sort of connection with a military veteran or an active duty serviceman or woman, whether it be a relative, co-worker, or friend. Some of those who have served have come away with serious injuries while defending our country. Operation Rise & Conquer gives those who have been injured, while fighting to defend our freedom, a chance to get back up and get over some of those physical and even mental hurdles that they have endured. ORC gives these veterans an opportunity to go on a week-long adventure in beautiful Crested Butte, Colorado. Working with the Adaptive Sports Center, participants have access to the finest equipment that allows even those with serious injuries to participate in outdoor activities such as rock climbing, mountain biking, kayaking, snow skiing, and much more.
