Eagle Expeditions are Team Red, White & Blue’s own multi-day guided outdoor trips, run at national level rather than by local chapters and led by volunteer veteran Expedition Guides trained in wilderness medicine. Team RWB is a 501(c)(3) veterans’ nonprofit whose membership is free and open to veterans, service members, military families and civilian supporters.
This sea-kayaking expedition runs Sunday 11 to Thursday 15 October 2026 at Santa Cruz Island in Channel Islands National Park off the southern California coast. The dates and location come from Team RWB’s expedition index; the expedition’s own detail page was not reachable at the time of listing, so group size, cost and current application status should be confirmed directly with Team RWB before applying.
Places on Eagle Expeditions are filled by application rather than open registration, with registration completed on the Classy fundraising platform after acceptance; a $50 non-refundable deposit applies to 2026 expeditions. Team RWB states that Eagle Expeditions are primarily for veterans and service members, though it does not publish that as a hard eligibility rule.
Team Red, White & Blue (Team RWB) is a 501(c)(3) veterans’ nonprofit founded in 2010 by Mike Erwin, a US Army officer, and describes itself as America’s health and wellness community for veterans. Its stated mission is to enrich the lives of military veterans through physical activity, social connection and community engagement. Membership is free and open to veterans, service members, military families and civilian supporters, who are known as Eagles; the organization reports more than 250,000 members and over 19,500 events a year, coordinated through local chapters and its own member app. At national level it runs multi-day guided Eagle Expeditions, monthly fitness missions, charity race-bib programmes with third-party races, and marquee flag relays — the Old Glory Relay from 2014 to 2024, the Old Glory Ultra Relay in 2025, and One Flag Forward in 2026. Its executive director is Col. (Ret.) Michael Sullivan.
