Encampment Information

What is Encampment?

Encampment is a week-long, life changing activity in partnership with the United States Air Force to teach young cadets leadership skills and resiliency. Most encampments occur in the summer, but there are some offered over the winter break from school.  Encampments are a prerequisite that allows a cadet to attend a National Cadet Special Activity (NCSA). This enjoyable and intense week is packed with:

  • Advanced Drill and Ceremony Training
  • Aerospace Workshops
  • Classroom and Hands-On Leadership Development
  • Physical Training 
  • Orientation Flights with Air Force and Civil Air Patrol aircraft
  • Connections to Build yourself and your unit better!
