Maryland-Delaware Encampment

NOTE:  For questions about your specific application, do not leave a comment.  Please email breed@mdcap.org.

Encampment is the most significant, worthwhile training experience in a CAP cadet’s career. It is a week long basic training-like program and is required for the General Billy Mitchell Award. Encampment is designed to develop a greater understanding of CAP and Air Force missions and capabilities, personal and team leadership, and teamwork.

We are now accepting applications for cadet basics. The first step is to forward a completed and signed CAP Form 31 to the Maryland-Delaware Encampment, as described below.

Upon receipt, applicants will receive additional forms which will need to be completed and returned prior to arrival.

Cadet Basics must have attained the grade of Cadet Airman (Curry Achievement) by 31 May 09 to be accepted.

The postmark deadline for application for cadet basics is May 31, 2009. Applications will be accepted on a first come, first serve basis.  (NOTE:  In 2008 the encampment had a waiting list due to the high number of applications– it is highly encouraged to send in your application early.)
