    Frequently Asked Questions

    • Is there a charge to this program?

    No, there is not. It’s exclusive to veterans of our armed services.

    Step 1: Fill out the online form

    Step 2: A phoner with our director, Evan Davis

    Step 3: Application approval and mailing of a badge

    • Do I need to prove I’m a vet?

    Yes, we may ask you for either VA Healthcare ID card, or a copy of your DD-214. Sadly, some people pretend to be a vet to take advantage of benefits or scam people from time to time.

    • I don’t have an off roader or camping gear, can I still participate?

    Yes, we allow vets to do ride alongside if they do not have a capable off-roader and we will try to help with some basic supplies like loaning tents and sleeping bags when possible.

    • If I make a donation, can that go only to this program, Trail To Recovery?

    Yes, if you use the donation portal above, that goes into the Trail to Recovery fund only and not the general Virginia off-Road fund.

    • Wht would my dontion help cover?

    The program helps cover the cost of fuel for vets that want to ride along (usually $10 giftcard), it helps cover the cost of some Facebook ads, camping sites (they usually range from $10-35 each), some basic equipment like tents, sleeping bags and lights. Additionally, it’s used to help cover shipping and the cost of the badges too.

    • Do I need to still signup for a membership if I join as a vet?

    No, you don’t. The Vet program is equal to our 4WD High program, but with a couple of perks. First, you will receive a special badge for being a veteran, plus you will not have to pay for the Trail Badge Program. As you complete trails, you will earn the badges for free. FInally, any educational programs we have, like the TrailMaster Certification for example, you will not need to pay for a badge, those will also be FREE to vets.

    • When are these programs happening?

    Programs happen throughout the year at various times. As a member, we will email you before things happen so you can sign up. If you have Facebook, we encourage you to signup on the Facebook Group for additional information on events.

    • I need a waiver link but don’t see it?

    If you we’re asked to complete step two of the application, you can find that here.

    If you were asked to complete the waiver, that is found here.
