YOUTH & FAMILY
Our families deserve the utmost gratitude and respect for the sacrifices they make as their NSO Warriors leave to fight the nation's battles. These Warriors miss birthdays, holidays, and so many more memories that can never be recaptured. It is also when they return with emotional and physical scars from war that the programs we offer help place them into environments that support reconnecting with loved ones.

FAMILY EXPERIENCES
These experiences provide a critical bridge toward building resiliency within the community by creating unscripted opportunities for relationship-building. This has proven invaluable in helping our Warriors heal the emotional wounds that have surfaced after decades of relentless combat, and allows spouses & children to share in this healing process, which is essential for lasting success. We host weekend events at amazing venues such as Great Wolf Lodge to allow families to reconnect after extended deployments.

NSOF KIDS' DAYS
We fund various events throughout the year with an emphasis on children which include activities such as indoor skydiving, golfing, and zip-lining to name a few. These activities are purposely selected to promote health and wellness in an environment in which these children can easily bond with others who have shared the same experiences of being separated from moms and dads for the majority of their childhood.

YOUTH PROGRAMS
NSOF has partnered with exceptional organizations to provide the children of Navy Special Operations heroes with unique programs such as space camps, outdoor water sports, and summer camps that they otherwise wouldn't have the opportunity to experience. We achieve this through carefully tailored programs - with a special emphasis on families of currently deployed NSO members - that appeal to a wide age range & exclusively for NSO kids.
