About Soul Survivor Outdoor
Published by Soul Survivor Outdoor on their own website. Quoted here in full as they wrote it.
Our Story
The spark that ignites Soul Survivor Outdoor began while Founder and President LtCol Rick Wolf served at Marine Corps Base Twentynine Palms in charge of wounded Marines in 2013.
His assignment gave him a front row seat to the moral and spiritual breakdown that our military service members have endured as a result of extended exposure to combat and combat support operations. He saw that there was more going on with the Marines than the emotional (PTSD) and physical wounds from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the medical and psychological care alone was not fully addressing the damage to their souls. The Marines needed “soul repair.”
“Rick and his team have genuine care and concern for our service members and I hope to get to experience more with them and support them in any way I can. SSO represents what’s best in people and I’m excited for what they hold for the future.”
1stLt Damon Alvarez, U.S. Marine Corps
“I recently took the opportunity to go to a SSO rock climbing event and we all had a blast! The events themselves were super fun and opened up some new hobbies for me. But more importantly we all gathered together and got to talk about our relationship with God and received some great information to guide us with our spiritual journey.”
Cpl Emmanuel Garcia, U.S. Marine Corps
“The best spiritual event I’ve ever been to, great time and felt more connected to God when I left!”
LCpl Caleb Cook, U.S. Marine Corps
“Top notch ability to connect with active duty soldiers and provide free resources that really engage the soldier.”
MSG Kristopher Small, U.S. Army
“Amazing experience and fantastic staff. . . the experience can be enjoyed regardless of your religious preference . . . I would highly recommend the organization to anyone who’s looking to better themselves or simply have an amazing time with an extraordinary community that truly cares for the people it serves regardless of opinion or background.”
Sgt Bo Olson, U.S. Marine Corps
“Real resilient training with practicable life applications lessons to draw from. Thanks to . . . Mr. Garcia and his team.”
1LT Henry Onwughai, Chaplain, U.S. Army
“Soul Survivor Outdoor provides some of the best practical/tangible support to active duty military service members through outdoor adventures. . . each event creates a positive environment and esprit de corps that is engaging and opens up an aspect of outdoor life too easily neglected in the grind of deployment and training cycles. SSO is a must for any unit who desires their service members to have a revitalizing experience.”
SFC Jacob Schanck, U.S. Army
“I loved the trip they had us take with them, and their stories they had to share I was very grateful to listen to. Even if you consider yourself a secular person it’s a wonderful opportunity to work on a spiritual side and connect with that part of ourselves that we as a society lack in. Definitely take the trip if given the chance.”
PFC Justin Kirschner, U.S. Marine Corps
Our write-up
Soul Survivor Outdoor is in our directory because the military community keeps recommending it. What you see above is their own description, quoted from their site. We have not yet added our own write-up — the programs, eligibility and military fit that we check ourselves — and we would rather leave that blank than guess at it.
In the meantime, their official site is the authority: www.soulsurvivoroutdoor.org/skydiving

Are you Soul Survivor Outdoor?
This page was written about you, not by you. We built it because the people we serve were already looking for you and deserved a straight answer about what you do. If anything here is wrong, out of date, or puts it badly, we would rather hear it from you than leave it up.
Claiming it gives you an account here and a route to request changes — corrections, new programs, updated events. Those requests are handled by Meridian Tech, our partner, under their subscription service. You are not editing this page yourself, and we would rather say that plainly now than have you find out after you sign up.
“Claim this page” opens a checkout on milconnect.com, where you set up your organization's account. Being listed here is free, and staying listed is free. Meridian Tech — the company that also builds and runs MILCONNECT.AI — provides the account and the update service, and the AI Workspace is their paid product. We are telling you about a commercial relationship before you act on it rather than after, because you are a nonprofit being asked to spend money and you deserve to see the whole shape of it first. If anything on this page is simply wrong, email us and we will fix it for free; that never requires a subscription.
This page is maintained by MILCONNECT.AI and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or authored by Soul Survivor Outdoor. It is a directory entry compiled from community recommendations. We do not rate, rank or endorse anything in this directory, and being listed here is not a recommendation — clinical or otherwise. We are not a medical provider and cannot tell you whether a program is right for you. Check eligibility, cost and current status with the organization directly before you rely on it.
