RoR provides combat veterans with an experiential rehabilitation program that focuses on outdoor recreational therapy activities along with other self-treatment techniques.
“At Stryten Energy, we believe supporting veterans means investing in their well‑being after their service ends,” said Mike Judd, Chief Executive Officer and President of Stryten Energy. “Rivers of Recovery provides a powerful, experience‑based path to healing, and we’re proud to continue our support of an organization making a meaningful difference in the lives of those who have given so much.”
Benefits of the Partnership
With Stryten’s continued partnership, RoR is not just expanding programs but transforming the landscape of veteran care by making evidence-based outdoor therapy accessible to more veterans than ever before.
“Support from partners like Stryten Energy makes it possible for us to continue serving veterans through meaningful, restorative experiences,” said Amy Simon, Executive Director of Rivers of Recovery. “Their continued commitment helps ensure we can reach more individuals, build stronger connections, and create lasting impact for those who have served.”
Support from Stryten Energy enables the continued research partnership with Cornell University on outdoor therapy effectiveness and the expansion of the programs and river trips that RoR offers. The organization plans to conduct additional river trips across California, Arkansas, Connecticut, Wisconsin, New York, and Idaho. Additionally, the programs dedicated to women veterans will expand into more locations.
Additional Partnership Activities
Additionally, Stryten Energy is the platinum sponsor for RoR’s Stars and Stripes charity fishing tournament to be held June 11-12, 2026, in Newburg, MD. Hosted by Mid River Guide Service, teams will compete for awards for the largest fish, most fish and team spirit. All proceeds from the tournament will fund additional therapeutic excursions for our nation’s wounded warriors.
Stryten Energy also looks forward to hosting military veterans and staff from Rivers of Recovery in Breckinridge, CO, in July for an outdoor Jeep adventure. Participants will experience the thrill of climbing the Rocky Mountain trails in Stryten’s Jeeps that are custom-built for this type of adventure.
