Our Legacy Destination
Our home is Vass, NC — a place where the spirit of community runs deep. Nestled near Fort Bragg, our 82.5-acre property is more than just land. It’s a vision rising from the roots of service, sacrifice, and a belief in what’s possible.
This isn’t just a project. It’s a movement.
We’re building a destination — open to the public — designed for families, caregivers, and future leaders. A place where anyone can camp under the stars, walk healing trails, catch a live concert on a summer night, or step inside a wind tunnel and experience the thrill of flight. Whether you’re local or visiting, this is a place where memories are made, hearts are healed, and possibilities take flight.

Our Vision
This is the vision — not just for today, but for the next hundred years.
A generational gift built to lift the children and families who come after us, while never forgetting where we came from or the heroes who shaped our roots. What we build now becomes the foundation they will stand on long after we’re gone, carrying forward a legacy of hope, strength, and opportunity for every generation that follows.
Campus Land Stewardship Update
Our campus continues to take shape through intentional land stewardship, strong partnerships, and hands-on learning.
In partnership with Knowlbrook Farms, we are nearing completion of the full stumping process across the property. This milestone marks a major step forward in transforming raw land into safe, sustainable spaces for learning, healing, and community programs.
With stumping almost complete, we are now preparing to move into the next phase of development—focused on grading, access paths, program areas, and long-term land restoration. Every step is being approached with care for the environment and future generations.
Learning Through Stewardship
This journey is more than land development—it is education in action.
We are documenting the entire process to create hands-on STEM+Arts Land Stewardship Courses, where students learn about:
• Environmental responsibility
• Soil health and restoration
• Forestry and land management
• Equipment operations and safety
• Sustainable campus planning
• Conservation and habitat protection
These real-world experiences allow our youth to see how science, engineering, and environmental care come together to build something lasting.
A Journey of Growth and Community
This work has been a powerful learning experience—full of problem-solving, collaboration, and meeting incredible people who share our commitment to service. What began as open land is becoming a living classroom, a place of opportunity, and a foundation for generational impact.
Every cleared trail, restored field, and planned program space represents our promise to:
Support military and first responder families, foster youth, caregivers, communities, and Title One Schools—today and for generations to come.
Looking Ahead
As we move into the next phase, our focus remains clear:
• Expand program-ready spaces
• Strengthen environmental sustainability
• Launch land stewardship education tracks
• Prepare for future STEM+Arts facilities
• Build a permanent home for healing and growth
This campus is being built with purpose, transparency, and heart—guided by stewardship, service, and the belief that when we invest in children, we invest in the future.
