Senior Member Encampment Participation

Staffing encampment offers numerous benefits that make it an appealing opportunity. First and foremost, it allows you to help our cadets reach their full potential, which can be incredibly rewarding. If you enjoy working with cadets and are interested in experiencing a military-style flight, this is the perfect environment for you. Additionally, if you have specific skills you’d like to share and utilize, there are plenty of opportunities to do so. With positions available for every activity and fitness level, there’s something for everyone to contribute. Plus, it’s free, the food is good, and the camaraderie among staff and cadets is excellent, making it an unforgettable experience.

The application process is an easy-to-fill-out Google Form in which you indicate what position(s) you want to staff. We will then schedule a time to talk, answer questions, and formalize the position that is right for you. 

Questions can be addressed to the Encampment Commander at encampment@mswg.cap.gov.
