The entire community of Deep Creek Lake comes together to provide volunteers, veterans, and their families from all across the country with fun filled days.

A vet and his family can spend the entire week paddling and rafting on the course. Take a rafting trip down the local Youghegheny or go sailing on Deep Creek Lake. Roller coasters, horseback riding, golf, you name it! In the immortal words of DSUSA, "If I can do this, I can do anything!" Living the dream thanks to the community of DCL and surrounding! Huge thanks to Adventure Sports Center International for their lifelong commitment to provide TRR paddlers seasonal access!!!

For more than 60 years, we in AMVETS have taken to heart the credo of service set forth by our organization’s founding fathers. In so doing, we endeavor to provide our fellow veterans with the type of support they truly deserve. This outreach effort takes many forms, from the professional advice our service officers offer on earned veterans benefits to our legislative efforts on Capitol Hill to the work done by our hospital volunteers. Other AMVETS members involve themselves in a range of initiatives aimed at contributing to the quality of life in their local communities. Thanks to the generous support from members of AMVETS Team River Runner is enabled with power to reach nationwide and help service members in their home towns.

The word Calleva means "Where the paths cross".

We assist children and adults in realizing increased personal power, team and leadership skills, and appreciation for nature through adventure activities. We prepare each participant to reach goals that will enhance personal esteem and confidence . These tools can only lead to successes in and out of the "real world" and a better understanding of self and environment for those willing to become educated in the outdoors.
