Basic Encampment

The Basic Student Encampment is one of the most worthwhile activities available to cadets.  You’ll be challenged by a carefully designed, age-appropriate, military-style training environment. This immersion into the military-style training will challenge cadets to develop self-discipline and teamwork while learning leadership skills, military bearing, and broadening their understanding of aerospace and the Cadet Program. Surveys show that the opportunity to thrive in a strict, Air Force-like setting is among the top reasons young people become cadets. Successful completion of an encampment is required for the Billy Mitchell Award and opens up many new and exciting opportunities for CAP cadets, such as National Cadet Special Activities, and the ability to return to encampment as cadet cadre.  Students must have completed the Curry Award prior to the start of Encampment.

Please note: due to the increased need of encampment graduation credit, Cascade Falcon will not be accepting basic encampment student applications from prior encampment graduates. If you have previously graduated from an encampment and would like to attend Cascade Falcon as a student (not cadre), we strongly encourage you to register for the Advanced Training Squadron as a student.

Advanced Training Squadron (ATS)

The Advanced Training Squadron (ATS) - “Open to Cadet Staff Sergeant (C/SSgt) through Cadet Chief Master Sergeant (C/CMSgt)  - is designed for cadets with a prior encampment attendance seeking additional training in the encampment environment. It is a week of leadership immersion, where the students will rotate between leadership positions, practicing hands-on leadership skills, including providing supervision, enforcing standards, teaching, mentoring, and coaching activities, leading drill and ceremonies, and public speaking. Students are encouraged to try new skills, get feedback, and learn from the experience.  The curriculum is based on CAP’s Cadet Staff Handbook and Learn to Lead. ATS students comply with military standards in the Air Force tradition and are challenged by an environment of appropriate military intensity.

The goal is for these students after competing ATS to now have new knowledge, skills, and abilities they can use as cadre and staff, not only at future encampments or wing level activities, but in their home units as well. ATS students may also take part in special opportunities not offered to basic cadet students.

To attend ATS, cadets must have completed a prior encampment and be in the grade of C/SSgt to C/CMSgt. Cadets at the rank of Cadet Senior Airman (C/SrA) may register, but must have been promoted to C/SSgt by the time Encampment starts.
