Summer Encampment |
|
CAP encampments are an important part of the cadet program. Cadets continue to learn about the cadet program, the role of aerospace today, and further develop their leadership skills. Cadets will participate in physical activities such as the obstacle course and physical fitness training. Encampment will challenge each cadet’s physical and mental abilities, but not beyond what a normal cadet can endure without due strain. Cadets will rise early and have a very full day of training. Encampments are one of the best leadership developing events CAP offers. |
