Title: 2017 Winter encampments
Post by: 3rd502nd on May 08, 2017, 07:48:36 PM
My 12-year-old son just joined. Unfortunately he cannot attend his wing's summer encampment due to a previously-scheduled activity. What wings will be hosting a winter encampment later this year?

Hi there! Right now NHQ only has the 2016 Winter encampments below, you can check the individual encampment websites there.

https://www.capmembers.com/cadet_programs/activities/encampment/winter-2016-encampments

Spring and Summer encampments up here:
https://www.capmembers.com/cadet_programs/activities/encampment/springsummer-2017-encampments/

They haven't updated the winter's yet but it should be about the same time and Wings this year.

And ultimately, if nothing is available in price/proximity, waiting until next summer isn't the end.

He can always attend a summer encampment with another Wing, rather than wait for the winter

Historically, Kansas and New Hampshire have a winter encampment.  Some of our cadets went to Kansas last year and had good things to say. I've been to the NH activity and can also recommend that to you as a good group of folks run that.  They also usually have an NCO leadership academy and RCLS that they run during the same week.

Alaska Wing will be hosting a joint encampment with Oregon in late December/Early January.

There has been discussion, but I wouldn't rely on it happening in 2017.

Good luck with that.

Most of the time, but there have been some really cold TX winter encampments.

VAWG has just decided not to do a winter encampment this year.

Florida always has one at Tyndall, AFB over the Christmas break. Mild weather on the panhandle.

Scuttlebutt was USAF funded airlift from JBLM.

That is the first time I ever literally fell out of my chair laughing.

Last year was lovely I think. This year I believe they're going to be pretty cold. At least in the mornings.
