There's an intensive wilderness school in Washington, and their capstone activity is IIRC a 2 week long game of capture the flag in an even larger area of dense woods

It's a great way to test stalking, camouflage, and survival skills. A lot of the game is played in pitch darkness, where moving silently becomes critical. Rather than a fast-paced running game, capturing the flag often means inching into enemy territory over the course of days, and moving back to your side just as slowly without being detected.
