Who is having a Winter encampment

[flyguy06]

Ok, so since my Region is not having a Winter Encampment, I'd like to know who is. I would like to volunteer.

[DC]

FLWG has announced that we will be taking over the SER Winter Encampment, the dates are 28 DEC to 03 JAN and it is presumed to be held at Camp Blanding.

They just started looking for a Commander and Cadet Commander.

[flyguy06]

Thanks. Anyone else?

[RickFranz]

Kansas Wing is planning to have one in Salina KS.

[Dad2-4]

TXWG, always. I'm thinking of applying for staff this year if the household CC approves it. 

[flyguy06]

What are the dates for KSWG

[Maj Ballard]

To clarify... Florida is not "taking over" the SER encampment. Florida is one of the wings in SER that is having a winter encampment. Haven't heard definitively about any others.

[BuckeyeDEJ]

Isn't the Florida winter encampment usually at Patrick AFB? (Summer's at Blanding.)

[BillB]

Florida hasn't had a Winter Encampment since the 1990's. At that time it was held at Patrick, Eglin, or Homestead. The SER has had Winter Encampments at Tyndall, Ft. Benning and Camp Blanding. (the 1974 SER Summer Encampment was at Eglin, and then SER dropped having region wide encampments until 2002 or 2003 Winter Encampment. )

I went to a SER Encampment in Tennessee in the 90's. Forgot the year. but it was up at Catoosa.

  Same here.  TX Wing Encampments are always a blast!

Not true, FLWG had a winter encampment at Tyndall in 2000-2001.

If my friend that lived up in Kansas was still there, I might consider going.

Allow me to translate:  From YAY! Christmas morning! to Yay.  Duffelbag drag and getting yelled at by some pubescent cadet SNCO who didn't get what he wanted this year.

Sounds like a fun christmas to me... jk.

But I don't believe MD wing has a winter encampment. I would most likely hear about it if we did. Is there anyone having a winter encampment close by? And with dates and cost?

Sounds a lot like Texas (same dates too). Cuts a little off Christmas and kind of screws new years eve. Usually worth it though.

It is a good time to get an encampment in.  Leave the summer open for all those other Special Activities, like NBB.

And if you can't make a winter encampment, RIWG has its in April

[Eclipse]

Ditto ILWG - two weekends in April.
