About Pond Hopper Army

Pond Hopper Army is a veteran-led nonprofit that strengthens veterans, families, and communities through outdoor experiences. Founded in Central Texas, we empower veterans to continue serving as mentors and community builders while creating opportunities for the next generation.

"Today was supposed to just be a day to get out of the house. We didn’t know what to expect—but watching my son catch his first fish was a proud dad moment. We both learned how to fish together."
