CADET ACTIVITIES
Participation in the Civil Air Patrol Cadet Program provides many opportunities to participate in activities outside the home squadron. Activities are offered at various times throughout the year, generally on weekends or during school breaks. These activities are elective, but offer career educational opportunities in Aviation, Military, Technology and Leadership. These are called NCSA's (National Cadet Special Activity).
Attending a Basic Encampment is prerequisite for most Cadet Activities. All Cadets are encouraged to attend an encampment as soon as possible to be eligible to participate in other activities.
