Our cadets enjoy multiple camping opportunities throughout the year. Some of these are emergency services bivouacs, where cadets learn essential survival and search-and-rescue skills in a hands-on environment. In addition, during summer airshows, cadets often camp on-site overnight, providing support and getting a unique experience of working the event. These camping adventures not only teach practical skills but also foster teamwork and lasting friendships among the cadets.

Once a year, we host elegant formal events where cadets get to dress up in their blues or formal attire and come together for a memorable evening. These Military Balls and Dining-Ins are a highlight of our year, featuring a formal dinner, camaraderie, and the presentation of promotions and recognition awards. It’s a wonderful opportunity for cadets to celebrate their achievements in a distinguished and festive setting.

Each year, our cadets have the opportunity to participate in statewide cadet conferences and a week-long summer encampment. The conference is a three-day, two-night event that brings together cadets from all over the state—and sometimes even the country—offering them a chance to learn, network, and put their training into practice in a dynamic setting. Similarly, the summer encampment is a seven-day, six-night immersive experience where cadets travel, stay overnight, and engage in intensive training and teamwork. Both events are fantastic opportunities for cadets to apply what they’ve learned, meet peers from other units, and grow as leaders.
