Encampment Staff

The experience of staffing an Encampment is the reason many CAP members keep coming back.  It's an opportunity to work alongside the best and brightest of Minnesota's Cadet Program, and simultaneously an opportunity to practice your own leadership skills.

Cadet Line and Support Staff

Cadet line and support staff are the bread and butter of Encampment staff.  Command (line) staff are the more recognizable of the two, directly interacting with students and participating in formations and PT.  Examples of command staff include Flight Sergeant and Flight Commander, as well as First Sergeants and the Command Chief.  However, Encampment couldn't survive without support (HQ) staff like the Logistics, Dining, Admin, and PAOs.

Cadet Executive Staff

Encampment is a cadet run activity, and cadet executive staff do much of the planning to make Encampment run smoothly.  Positions include the overall CTG Commander, as well as deputies for ALC, BLC, and Support.  Where cadet line and support staff do much of the down-and-dirty training, cadet executive staff are responsible for managing large swaths of Encampment.  Executive Staff applications happen early on in the Encampment season. 

Adult Volunteer Members

Adult member volunteer time during Encampment is always appreciated.  Encampment is a week long activity, but you don't have to sign up for the whole week to volunteer!  If you can't make the whole week, just let us know which days you're available and we'll work with you.  As always, to work with cadets you have to have completed Cadet Protection training.
