Wilderness Exploration and Survival
There’s an adventurer in all of us, pitch a tent and spend the weekend with your friends and family on Hawk Island at the USNWC in Charlotte, N.C. Explore our more than 300 woodland acres, while learning the seven priorities of survival; positive mental attitude, wilderness first aid, shelter building, fire craft, signaling, water, and food.
This course is fun, informative, and a great opportunity for families to spend a weekend together. This “modern” survival requires proper equipment, preparedness, and the expectation of rescue within 72 hours.
