KANSAS WING WINTER ENCAMPMENT

Encampment: Transforming Average Cadets into Superb Leaders

What is the military definition of leadership? The military definition of leadership is as follows: The art of influencing and directing people in such a way that it will win their obedience, confidence, respect and loyal cooperation in achieving a common objective.

This is just one of the many things that cadets will learn at the 2009 Kansas Wing Winter Encampment.  Encampment is being held from 26 December 2009 through 2 January 2010 at Kansas Wing Headquarters in Salina, Kansas.  Cadets can expect to learn important life skills such as how to work in a group, how to make their bed, how to keep organized and even how to manage their time.  On top of learning about emergency services and aerospace education, cadets will be exposed to numerous hands on activates to stimulate their minds to aid in the learning process.  Cadets will walk into encampment as cadets and emerge a week later as leaders.  This is a great opportunity to grow.

We are now accepting Basic Applications (CAPF 31 with signatures sent to Kansas Wing Headquarters).  Come and experience the event of a lifetime!
