Fin Chaser Warriors Outdoors

Fin Chaser Warriors Outdoor is a veteran-founded nonprofit organization dedicated to healing, resilience, and reconnection through the power of the outdoors. Built on the unbreakable bonds of brotherhood, we are a community of combat veterans who refuse to leave anyone behind—on the battlefield or at home.

Attention NEPA Veterans

Starting on 6 April 2026 at 1700 hrs (Every Monday thereafter), we will be hosting free meetings at 851 Raymondskill Road in Milford Pa 18337 for a VSA and Fin Chasers fishing program. During that time there will be fishing education followed by a session of prayer and a standown time where we usually smoke cigars, enjoy adult beverages and discuss the stressors of the week or life. We will use these sessions to work together to overcome anything thrown our tribes way. Please join us.
