NC Systeminar: Outdoor Training Camp

http://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/1/0/9/7/event_20764247.jpeg Following the popularity of our first outdoor seminar last fall, we'll be holding our second overnight camp on Sat Mar 31st - Sun Apr 1st (no fools in this crowd).

As before, this will be a short afternoon/overnight/morning training camp in NC covering health, awareness and fighting skills in varied outdoor terrain.

This time, we'll be joined by Instructor Brandon Sommerfeld, who will be bringing his Special Ops combat experience to the mix, and lead sessions on forest survival, concealment and combat.

The full content will include movement over rough ground and forest, using natural environment as a weapon, stealth and concealment, wielding the Spetsnaz shovel, and (weather permitting) everybody's favorite: fighting in the water.

Location will be the Shinleaf Group Camp within Falls Lake Sate Recreation Area.

This one will be a LOT of fun, so register your interest asap. you MUST register and prepay in order to attend this event, to ensure adequate camping space is reserved. We do have enough members to run this event now, so barring major thunderstorms/forest fires, this will be pressing ahead.

The $80 cost includes the park camping fee of $20 per night. All payments must be made in advance, at least 1 week ahead of the camp, to guarantee a place. You can pay via the PayPal link here (preferred), or pay Glenn in person by cash or check.

Families / friends are welcome to join us for the camping (if not the fighting, stalking and drowning), and will NOT have to pay the $80 training fee. But they WILL have to pay $20 to cover the park camping fee - again, payable to Glenn, via you, up-front.

We'll be setting up camp on the night before (30th Mar) or morning of Mar 31st. You're welcome to join us then if you like, but there will be no official training on 30th - just camping. Training will begin after lunch on 31st, around 1pm. The rough schedule (subject to change) will then proceed as follows:

Sat Mar 31st

1-2pm - warm-up, breath&bodywork (friends and families welcome to attend for free)

2-5pm - forest movement/combat

5-8pm - dinner break

8-10pm - low-light/night work

10pm - eat/drink/sleep

Sun Apr 1st
