Completely free to participants, WQW’s flagship program, Built for
More, merges the power of outdoor pursuits, the support of comrades,
and the expertise of a proprietary personal growth process to guide
veterans to their own definition of thriving.

Built for More kicks off with the Initial Fishing Experience (FX), a week-long outdoor
immersion for six and eight-person cohorts that strengthens Warriors for the journey
ahead. Nature inspires, recreation relaxes, fresh skillsets expand problem-solving
creativity, and newfound comrades buoy their spirits, sparking intentions and accountabil-
ity for the road ahead. All Warriors return home with the equipment and knowledge to
continue fly fishing independently and with confidence.

Building trust is an essential component of a Warrior’s first in-person program. WQW hires licensed, profession-
al fly-fishing guides who focus on skills-development during a Warrior’s Initial FX. After attending his first WQW
program in 2015, Rodney (pictured right) went to guide school and now guides fellow Warriors on WQW
programs.
