Veteran's Adaptive Sports & Training VAST promotes lifelong health and well-being of veterans with disabilities. VAST is a 501(c)(3) non-profit program of Pineland Farms, Inc.

We strive to offer year-round activities based on the needs and wants of veterans. Programs are FREE and equipment is provided. Current sports include:
• Archery
• Cycling (hand and recumbent)
• Nordic Pole Walking
• Orienteering
• Cross-country Skiing
• Snow Shoeing WC basketball

Learn a new activity or practice your skills with Army Veteran, Occupational Therapist, and two-time Olympic Biathlete, Kristina Sabasteanski. Research shows that daily physical activity for people with disabilities results in reduced stress, depression and secondary medical conditions and increases self-esteem, education success, employment rates and quality of life. With 21 million physically disabled Americans, including thousands of military personnel who’ve sustained serious injuries while on active duty, this is an important community need.

VAST Deer Hunt Success

🦌 What an incredible VAST deer hunt!! 🇺🇸

We successfully wrapped up our hunt with 9 deer harvested by all 6 veterans! While that’s certainly something to celebrate, the true takeaways go far beyond reducing the overpopulation of deer and adding venison in their freezer.

It’s about the connections made, resources shared, stories exchanged, laughter, healing, and the opportunity to recharge. It’s about camaraderie, fellowship, and the reminder that no one has to walk their journey alone.

We cannot thank our guides enough for all the time, energy, and heart they poured into this experience. They did so much more than assist with the hunt. They showed up for our veterans, cared, listened, shared, and made sure each veteran felt supported and welcomed. That means more than words can express.

One veteran summed it up perfectly:

“Simply the best experience I have had since I retired from the Corps! Semper Fi!”

That right there is what it’s all about. ❤️

To our veterans, guides, cooks, volunteers, and everyone who helped make this hunt possible, THANK YOU!! You made memories that will last a lifetime. Recent donations allowed us to secure this hunt. We can’t thank you enough for the support!

*More than a hunt. More than a harvest. It's about connection, camaraderie, and healing.*

Our VAST Deer Hunt is off to a great start, with 3 deer harvested by our 6 invited veterans!

Thanks to the generous donations we received last year, we were able to continue hosting this special event despite not receiving the VA Adaptive Sports Grant this year. And a huge thanks to Gray Shop n’ Save Supermarket in Gray, ME that donated the food for our hunters and guides for this camp.

These hunts are about so much more than the harvest. They bring veterans together from Maine and across the country, creating opportunities to build friendships, strengthen support networks, share experiences, and make new memories.

We are incredibly grateful to everyone whose generosity makes these opportunities possible. It’s another reminder of why we do what we do at VAST: Leave No Man or Woman Behind!

As always thanks to the dedicated guides volunteering their time and energy to make this a successful hunt! Veterans are here with us hunting until Wednesday. 🦌

🇺🇸 Camaraderie in the Great Outdoors 🇺🇸

Nothing beats getting into the great outdoors to recharge, reconnect, and bond with fellow veterans. We had an incredible few days exploring the beautiful area around Tomhegan Township, Maine, thanks to a generous supporter who donated the use of the Pamoola Lodge for our stay!

During our visit, we explored the local biking and hiking trails, which will help us prepare to host a VAST camp in the area next summer. Along the way, we enjoyed the opportunity to unwind, take in the beautiful surroundings, and strengthen the bonds we share as fellow veterans.

There’s something special about getting outdoors, sharing experiences, and connecting with others who understand the journey of military service.

A huge THANK YOU to our generous supporter for making this trip possible! What a wonderful place to recharge, reconnect, and build lasting friendships. We’re already looking forward to coming back next summer! 🇺🇸🌲🥾🚵‍♂️
