Warrior Games

The Mid-Atlantic Warrior Games integrates the concepts of a warrior spirit with resiliency and physical challenges in a weekend competition that encourages members to maintain a level of physical fitness, build mental resiliency, and develop comradery.

The activity brings together cadets and adult members through a series of challenging events where they compete alongside each other while building skills that strengthen their resiliency using the Five Pillars of Wellness and Resiliency as a model. This program provides an incentive for members to develop their peak performance, develop skills to appropriately respond to stress, and maintain the ability to respond to our missions. We also want to develop a warrior culture to help our members live by our core values of excellence, respect, integrity, and volunteer service.

We are currently looking for two activity directors to allow us to offer the Warrior Games at two different locations in the region. 
  • We are planning to run the event twice this fall (Sept/Oct 2025), to increase capacity and to shorten driving distances. Ideally, we will have an activity director for each location, with one as the lead to ensure both activities are similar.

  • MAR Cadet Programs is working with a team to draft an Activity Guide to define objectives and provide a playbook for consistency.

  • Director(s) will be responsible for finalizing planning, recruiting/selecting cadet and senior member staff, logistics, safety, cadet protection, budget, etc. Region staff will support and advise, help coordinate resources, provide a website and access to email for communications, and provide tools (e.g. Teams, Forms, Registration Zone support).

  • Sent a brief summary of relevant experience, both CAP and other, to Col Liz Sydow, cp@mar.cap.gov, NLT 7 July 2025. Selection will be made by 15 July 2025. Questions about the role can also be sent to this email.

  • Further details will be posted as a document on this channel.

Additional Details:

Dates: TBD (Sept/Oct 2025). 

Teams. Participants will be required to register as whole teams: six cadets and two senior members (cadet team) or six senior members and one senior member safety spotter (senior member team). The senior members for the cadet teams are the team chaperone and not competitors. Teams can be composed of members from multiple squadrons or even wings - teams cannot consist of cadets AND senior members.

Events. Depending on the host facilities, events may include traditional fitness, leadership reaction course (LRC), obstacle course, pneumatic firing range, team sports, and mental challenges (e.g. escape room). All activities will be supervised by CAP senior members.

Logistics. Events, lodging, and meals will be provided. Each team will be responsible for their own transportation to/from the activity and between events. Meals for participants, escorts, and staff will be provided and include three meals on Saturday and breakfast on Sunday. Each member is responsible for bringing a gallon of drinking water for their personal use.

Uniform. Uniform is ABUs or Corporate Field Unform (aka "Blue BDUs"). Team chaperones, safety spotters, and staff may wear Corporate Working Uniform (aka polo) since they will not climb the obstacle course or LRC.

Registration. Cost is TBD. 

First come-first served: the first eight teams to pay their registration in full will receive a slot. This process will be provided with the registration announcement. 

If you need help finding a team or team members, please contact the POC (will be provided in the registration email)
