Student Applications
Application Process
Cadet Applications are OPEN. Students will need to fill out the Encampment Application (linked here) in JotForms. Students must be 12 years of age and have completed their Curry Achievement (C/Amn) to attend encampment. If a student is under the age of 18 a parent must be with you to sign the form. Please make sure you have all of your insurance and prescription drug cards with you either scanned in or in photograph format, preferably in a jpeg format. Once the application is received, it will be sent to the cadet's Squadron Commander to approve or deny the student's application at the squadron level. The application deadline is 30 April 2024. After the application deadline has passed your cadet will be notified if they have been accepted in a primary slot or if they have been placed on the waitlist. Once a student is accepted, they will receive the EventBrite link to pay for the encampment. If you are applying for the Cadet Encampment Assistance Program (CEAP), you must submit that application in eServices BEFORE you get your CEAP ticket in EventBrite. CEAP is awarded per encampment. If you received it for a previous encampment, you must apply again to get it for this encampment. Please remember that if you are not selected for CEAP, you will be required to purchase an EventBrite ticket for Encampment by the payment deadline. If you have questions, please reach out to texasencampment@txwg.cap.gov.
Texas Wing Summer Encampment 2024
The activity will be held at Camp Maxey, Powederly Texas. There will be a $375.00 charge for basic encampment students. The charge for cadet cadre and senior staff will be $200.00. This covers food, drinks, t-shirts, billeting, and administrative costs. Do NOT send cash. You must use EventBrite to pay for encampment. All paperwork will be submitted via JotForms. You will receive the link to pay via EventBrite after you complete your JotForm and are selected to attend the encampment. Your application is not a guarantee to attend. However, if you are selected, once you get the link for EventBrite, purchasing your ticket by the deadline holds your spot. If you have applied for CEAP, you will need to get a CEAP ticket to hold spot while you wait to see if you receive CEAP funds. All JotForms must be submitted by 30 April 2024. Late applications will not be accepted. No one arriving without having previously completed your JotForms will not be allowed to sign into the activity.
Student Selection
As per directives from Texas Wing leadership, students will be selected by the following criteria:
1. Cadet Grade – Cadets reaching the grade of Cadet Staff Sergeant or higher will be selected first in the order their application was received.
2. Age – Cadets at the age of 17+ will be selected second in the order their application was received.
3. Order in which their application was received.
Basic Encampment
Basic Encampment is for those cadets that have not previously attended an Encampment. Encampment is required for cadets to promote to the officer grades. It is also required for a cadet to attend any National Cadet Special Activities. A cadet at basic encampment will learn how to drill as part of a flight, teamwork, Aerospace opportunities, leadership opportunities, and other classes. Please see CAPP 60-70 for all opportunities that encampment offers.
