CAP Encampments

CAP Encampments, or Civil Air Patrol Encampments, are organized training events for young members of the Civil Air Patrol (CAP), a volunteer organization associated with the U.S. Air Force. These encampments provide youth with hands-on experiences in aviation, leadership, and emergency services. Participants engage in various activities, including flight training, drill exercises, and lectures on aerospace topics. The goal is to develop skills, foster teamwork, and enhance leadership abilities while promoting an appreciation for aviation and service to the community. Encampments typically last several days and are often held at military bases or CAP facilities.
