GET READY FOR THE MISSISSIPPI WING 2023 SUMMER ENCAMPMENT
ENCAMPMENT MISSION
Civil Air Patrol Summer Encampments serve as leadership laboratories. They offer cadets the opportunity to further develop leadership skills under the careful supervision of highly trained adult leaders. Additionally, cadets are offered the opportunity to explore the aerospace sciences and related careers, commit to a habit of regular exercise and solidify their moral character.
ENCAMPMENT PHILOSOPHYEncampment presents the five key traits of cadet life – the uniform, aerospace themes, opportunities to lead, challenge, and fun – in an intensive environment that moves cadets beyond their normal comfort zones for personal growth. Overall, encampments should be fun, in part because they challenge cadets and enable them to earn a sense of accomplishment.
ENCAMPMENT GOALSEncampments aim to serve multiple constituencies. There are more people who have a stake in the program than simply the first-year cadet students. In fulfilling its purposes and realizing its vision, the encampment pursues goals in five different areas simultaneously.
The overall encampment program sets goals for each cadet student as an individual, builds teamwork, grows leaders, and finally, Encampment is the centerpiece of the wing-level Cadet Program, providing the wing with an opportunity to boost the capabilities of its hometown cadet and composite squadrons and to standardize cadet training within the wing, so the encampment program pursues goals for the wing’s overall Cadet Program.
