COWG Announcements

Colorado Wing Encampment 2012 - Posted on Sunday, February 19, 2012

Cadets who plan to attend the COWG encampment this coming summer and have not yet applied need to do that now! Information on encampment and how to register is below:
Cadets will spend an exciting week in the Colorado Springs area participating in experiences at the United States Air Force Academy, Peterson Air Force Base and Fort Carson. The program focuses on teaching cadets about aerospace power and heritage, the three missions of Civil Air Patrol (emergency services, aerospace and cadet programs), character, physical fitness and drill and ceremonies.

Experienced cadets will mentor and instruct basic cadets throughout the week using the demonstration-performance method; using more experienced cadets to "tell - show - do - review" is a very effective way for newer cadets to learn how to be the best Civil Air Patrol cadet they can be and take those skills back to their home squadron. The week will conclude with a formal Dining-In on Friday evening and a Pass-in-Review ceremony for family, friends and fellow cadets on Saturday morning.

In addition to participating in exciting activities and learning about CAP and its missions, basic cadets will meet other CAP cadets from many different areas of Colorado and learn how to participate in state, region and nation-wide activities such as: Powered Flight Academy, Ground Search and Rescue School, Space Command Familiarization Course, Advanced Technologies Academy, Regional Cadet Leadership School, Cadet Competition, Cadet Advisory Council and much more.

Encampment will be held from June 23rd -- June 30th at the United States Air Force Academy. Attendance at an encampment is required in order to earn the Mitchell Award and the rank of 2nd Lt. Space is limited, so we encourage cadets to apply early to secure their slot. Encampment applications for basic cadets will be accepted until all positions are filled or June 2nd. We anticipate that all slots will be filled by March.

The Civil Air Patrol is a great way to serve America. Our three primary missions are Aerospace Education, Cadet Programs and Emergency Services. CAP is an all-volunteer organization, made up of everyday people with a wide variety of skills. Federal, state and local authorities rely on the CAP's volunteer pilots and ground personnel to provide search and rescue assistance, disaster relief, homeland security, counter-drug operations support and cadet leadership training. The Colorado Wing of the CAP offers a wide variety of opportunities for citizens from all walks of life to serve Colorado, and America. With nearly 60,000 members nationwide, the CAP is one of the largest volunteer organizations in the country.
	The Civil Air Patrol is an auxiliary of the United States Air Force, performing "Missions For America". In Colorado, the CAP is headquartered at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs. We operate 35 squadrons throughout the state.

The COWG squadrons stand ready to assist those in need. Missions range from search-and-rescue of lost hikers or hunters, location of downed aircraft and transport of emergency personnel or medical materials. When there is a disaster in a Colorado community, the State's CAP squadrons respond by transporting doctors, firefighters or emergency personnel to the areas in need.

	Volunteers also perform homeland security, disaster relief, reconnaissance and counter drug missions at the request of federal, state and local agencies.

Our members take a leading role in aerospace education and serve as mentors to the almost 25,000 young people currently participating in CAP cadet programs. CAP has been performing missions for America for more than 60 years.
