The Station Foundation

Based in Bozeman, Montana, The Station Foundation provides genuine healing for U.S. Special Operations Forces (SOF) warriors & their families. 

 

The Station Foundation is committed to supporting the SOF community through transition and reintegration into civilian life. Through shared experience, strength, and hope, they help participants identify their unique strengths and apply them to new opportunities and environments. Most of which, centers around hiking, backpacking, hunting, and the healing powers of Montana's outdoors.

Oboz has proudly partnered with The Station Foundation in 2024 to help build and maintain hiking trails on the property that are used often, by program participants. Together, Oboz and the Station Foundation have improved and expanded trail access and hikeablity for active-duty and retired Special Forces Warriors - and their familes - to enjoy during their homecoming experiences.

The Station Foundation’s Homecoming Project provides week-long outdoor programs for SOF Warriors, spouses, and children designed to strengthen self-awareness, improve family connection, and support healthy stress and energy management through time spent in the outdoors.
