⛺ How to Participate

🌲 Full Winter Camping Experience

If you are brave enough to camp with us and test your winter survival limits, you are invited to arrive and join us during setup Friday morning, or anytime before nightfall on Friday and Saturday. 

🚗 Day Visitors Welcome

Can't stay overnight? No problem! Come visit us anytime on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday to participate in our scheduled training blocks, demonstrations, and community events. 

🛠️ What to Expect

📻 Amateur Radio (Ham Radio) & Worldwide Communications

When disasters strike and grid power fails, civilian amateur radio operators provide an invaluable lifeline. We align our event with the national Winter Field Day Association (WFDA), highlighting the importance of winter environment communication. 

Unlike serious competitors, NNPG participates strictly for education and fun. No license is required to try it out! We will have multiple HAM radios running, and we will help you make actual radio contacts with people across the country. 

🛡️ Emergency Preparedness & Survival Training

NNPG is dedicated to providing families with the skills needed to survive man-made or natural disasters. Throughout the weekend, we will host live demonstrations, expert presentations, and hands-on workshops. 

Have questions about a topic not on the schedule? There is always someone on hand to help answer your prepping questions!
