Who We Are
Our Mission
The Mountain Veteran Program (MVP) empowers veterans living with the lasting impacts of their service and their families to heal, connect, and rediscover purpose through year-round, transformative experiences at Sundance Mountain Resort in Utah.
Our Vision
A community where every veteran living with the lasting impacts of their service and their family experiences the healing power of the mountains — where connection, resilience, and the magic of Sundance Resort inspire renewed purpose and a future filled with strength and possibility.
What We Do
MVP offers cost-free, multi-day immersive programs designed to help veterans living with the lasting impacts of their service and their families reconnect, recharge, and rediscover purpose. Every program is set against the stunning alpine backdrop of Sundance Mountain Resort and combines therapeutic outdoor adventure with intentional wellness, creative expression, and community.
Whether it’s carving through fresh powder in winter, casting a fly line into a mountain stream in summer, or finding stillness in a mountaintop yoga session, each experience is crafted to build confidence, foster resilience, and create meaningful connections that last well beyond the trip.
