Where Adventure Meets Purpose
Discover Service experiences are designed to challenge, strengthen character, build confidence, and encourage teamwork
Discover Service adventure playgrounds turn decommissioned equipment, simple materials, and veteran-led design into dynamic, challenge-ready environments. These spaces are intentionally rugged — built to inspire imagination, encourage risk-taking, and teach kids how to lead, problem-solve, and help one another.
Adventure Playgrounds
Repurposed Equipment
Obtain federal surplus equipment headed for the boneyard and give it a new life
Challenge Elements
Work with obstacle course adventure organizations to incorporate surplus equipment into the experience
Purpose built
All designs encourage risk based play and encourage kids to work together
Our Missions are hands-on, community-facing experiences that bring Discover Service to life. Whether we’re showing up at a school, energizing a cross-country meet, or creating a powerful moment on Veterans Day, every Mission connects kids and families with real veterans, real values, and real opportunities to grow. These engagements are designed to spark curiosity, build confidence, and celebrate what service looks like in everyday life.
Youth Missions
Community Missions
Events like PTO nights, school assemblies, youth group gatherings, and Veterans Day celebrations. These experiences bring veterans and kids together through challenge activities, stories, and meaningful moments that highlight courage, teamwork, and gratitude.
Event Missions
Appearances at races, cross-country meets, 5Ks, marathons, tailgates, and community festivals. We bring music, energy, a veteran-led presence, and kid-friendly challenge stations that add excitement and purpose to any event.
Pop-up Missions
Small, mobile activations that can happen anywhere, from parks to church lawns to neighborhood fields. These pop-ups introduce families to Discovery Service through quick challenges, hands-on activities, and opportunities to connect with veterans.
