Photography Class

Charlie 22 Outdoors is considering putting together a photography class for veterans and/or those currently serving our country. We believe it will be another avenue to serve those struggling with PTSD or other issues. There are a few reasons for this message. 

  1. Do we have anyone interested in attending a photography class?
  2. Do we know any professional photographers that would be interested in teaching a photography class?
  3. Do we have anyone who would financially sponsor the equipment for 6 students to attend a photography class?

If you are interested, send me an email message: Charlie22outdoors@gmail.com

Please share with your contacts. 

We love you all and we thank you for your support.

Charlie 22 Outdoors Updates! 

Operation Spring River applications are coming in. This is our first event of each year. In the past we have combined waterfowl with upland bird. But with the lack of precipitation, water fowl has been very difficult. So we are thrilled to say we can focus this year on upland. You can apply on our website.

Our second annual Christmas Dinner will be held December 18. The Clubhouse. 11 AM to 1 PM. RSVP is required by this Wednesday, December 11. Charlie 22 Outdoors will provide turkey and ham. RSVP through email.

It’s been an amazing year. We have been blessed to meet and serve so many new veterans and their families. Looking forward to 2025.

Please share with your contacts. 

We love you all and we thank you for your support.

Operation Spring Canyon

Announcing Operation Spring Canyon September 8-11, 2023!

This all expenses paid mountain fishing event will be held at Spring Canyon in Colorado, in the shadows of Mount Princeton. Lodging, meals, guides, gear, licenses, etc. Spin real fishing options available. There are wheelchair accessible fishing options.

Any and all veterans are welcome to apply. Due to the location, altitude, and nature of this event, applicants need to be aware of their physical abilities (applying does not guarantee spot)


Applications due August 11, 2023

To apply go to the Event Application page.

We are planning on 30 guests. Priority will go to veterans first. Remaining spots will be opened up for other guests. Veterans, active-duty personnel, and all others with military experience are welcome to apply.

Spring Canyon Conference Center is the ideal location for this type of event. The serenity in the mountains is perfect. The peace that is felt there is exactly what our veterans need. No doubt it is a part of the creation that everyone needs to experience.

With the size of this event comes a tremendous monetary responsibility. As with all our events, our goal is to provide an all-expenses paid experience. This year we were blessed with almost the entire cost being covered by donations and sponsorships. That will be the goal for next year as well. Any assistance in this area would be appreciated. As with this year, we can ear-mark donations to go directly towards this event that is what the donor would like for us to do. Please remember all donations are tax deductible as we are a 501C3 nonprofit organization.

We look forward to the weekend. We got to experience lives being changed by the Holy Spirit this past September. We fully expect the same to happen.

Join us in the battle against veteran suicide.

We love you all and we thank you for your support.
