The Core Unit: The Local Program

The success of Project Healing Waters starts and ends with individual local programs. These are truly our boots on the ground. Volunteer-led and activity-centric, the majority of the camaraderie, connectedness, and ultimately healing at the center of Project Healing Waters happens at the program level.

Activities we offer

Activity

Fly Fishing

Fly fishing is at the heart of our mission. Time on the water is the beginning of many of our healing journeys.

Activity

Rod Building

Fly fishing can’t happen without the fly rod. The crafting of one can be just as curative as the time spent on the water with it.

Activity

Fly Tying

Fly tying not only insures that we’re ready for the next trip out, it’s one of the best opportunities to develop the camaraderie at our core.

Activity

Casting Technique

From learning the basic casting method to refining the double-haul, casting technique is an essential area of continued education.

Activity

Other Education

Whether it’s learning about aquatic insects, new fishing destinations, or introductions to a new guide service, there’s always more to learn in the realm of fly fishing!

Testimonials

This journey has been a transformative one for me, especially in dealing with my PTSD as a disabled veteran. The process of crafting a bamboo rod, the tranquility of fly fishing, and the victories in each catch are my own forms of therapy, healing me in ways traditional medicine couldn’t. It is a respite from my typical solitary existence and a welcome diversion that offers not just a physical activity but also an engaging and rewarding mental exercise.
