Our Mission

Adventure Changes Everything.

Healing. Purpose. Brotherhood.

Eagle 6 Adventures is a veteran-led 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Southwest Florida dedicated to ensuring that no veteran has to heal alone. We provide fully funded outdoor water experiences to veterans, first responders, Gold Star Families, and their loved ones — at absolutely no cost to them.

We believe that access to healing should never be limited by a veteran's financial situation or the invisible wounds they carry home from service. No paperwork. No waitlists. No cost. Ever.

"The water heals what nothing else can reach. Out here, the stress fades, the stories flow, and the bond between brothers grows stronger." — Stacey Corn, Colonel (Ret.) · Founder, Eagle 6 Adventures

Our Story

From the Field
to the Water.

I served 34 years in the United States Army. I led soldiers through combat, through loss, and through the kind of experiences that don't leave you when you take off the uniform.

When I retired, I came home carrying more than most people could see. PTSD doesn't announce itself — it just quietly changes everything. I spent two years traveling the country with my family, searching for what was next. Looking for peace. Looking for purpose.

"I retired as a Colonel — but out here on the water, we're all just veterans. No rank. No hierarchy. Just people who served, and people who understand."

— Stacey Corn, Colonel (Ret.) · Founder, Eagle 6 Adventures

We found that peace on the water. And I started Eagle 6 Adventures so no veteran would have to find their way there alone. Veterans. Families. Friends. And I finally listened — because the mission was never finished. It was just waiting.

People kept asking me to bring E6A back. And I did — because when veterans call, you answer.

Voices From the Water

What Veterans Are Saying.

These are the words of those who've been on the water with us. No brochure captures it better than they do.

"

As the Gold Star mom of a soldier KIA and widow of a retired Marine Corps war Veteran, I'm thankful for Stacey Corn's friendship and the time he takes through Eagle 6 Adventures to provide a safe, fun and quality environment to help others step outside the darkness of war trauma and grief to enjoy conversation understood by all involved, or quiet, peace and solace while holding a fishing rod on the water in the sun and contemplating the surrounding natural beauty. It's at the top of the best therapy I could ever have! If anyone knows the necessity for this and its calming power, it is retired Army war Veteran, Stacey Corn.

"I came out here not knowing what to expect. Three hours on the water and I felt more like myself than I had in years. No pressure, no agenda — just the water and good people who get it."

"Eagle 6 gave my family something we didn't know we needed. My husband doesn't open up easily, but out on that boat, he laughed. Really laughed. That means everything."

Youth Outreach

The Next Generation on the Water.

The mission doesn't stop with veterans. Eagle 6 Adventures has taken over 45 kids from junior high fishing clubs in Punta Gorda and Port Charlotte out on the water — teaching them patience, respect, and what it means to love the outdoors.
