Interested in attending the 2022 NY Wing Encampment?

Encampment can be the most significant, memorable, and worthwhile training experience in a Civil Air Patrol cadet’s career. In addition to training cadets receive at Encampment, cadets experience many exciting activities not offered at the squadron level. Encampments are designed to give cadets a chance to learn and grow in a challenging environment. NY Wing Encampment provides an opportunity for cadets who are about to be NCOs to develop the leadership skills necessary to take the next step in their squadron and wing.  

NY Wing Encampment is held each summer at Stratton Air National Guard Base in Scotia, NY. The date for the 2022 Encampment will be published early in 2022.  You must be at least a Cadet Airman (Curry Award) by (date TBA) to attend.
