The Wisconsin Wing Summer Encampment is now accepting applications! Come join us for an exciting week that will make you a better CAP Cadet and move you along the path of becoming a dynamic leader. Summer Encampment offers three schools this year:
Wisconsin Basic School
If you haven't graduated from a summer encampment before, then this is the school for you! You'll master cadet skills, learn teamwork, and have fun with events like the High Risk Entry Facility, Orientation Flights, and more. By the end of the week you'll wish Encampment would never end!
Cadet Development Course
A school designed specially for Phase I and II cadets who have already graduated from an encampment. Come challenge yourself to become a dynamic subordinate and small group leader! Cadets are accepted on a first come, first serve basis so register early! Cadets will learn leadership skills and will experience many aspects of the Cadet Program such as the marksmanship program, aerospace career orientation, STEM activities, and more.
Wisconsin Cadet Academy
Wisconsin Wing's premier cadet leadership school, the WCA will challenge you like no other experience! This year WCA students will also receive credit for attending a Region Cadet Leadership School*. In order to attend WCA you must meet the minimum requirements:
