Do any of the Glider Academy NCSAs offer senior member training for activity senior staff ?  I am a CAP pilot with a current PPL.  Want to get some sailplane training but have no where local.

I think New Mexico's wing glider encampment does.  I know there is a big push is to a get a prior private or commercial pilots to meet commercial standards for the glider and get your CFIG so you can teach at a next year encampment.  The wing glider program director has been trying to get me to do this.  I am a commercial MEL pilot but a private pilot in gliders.  I started it two years ago even got a form 5G one weekend after not having touched a glider since 1997.  After doing the from 5, the plan was going to have me do 5 to 10 flights to commercial and Instructor standards and take a combined check ride.  I ended having up having other priorities so I could not follow through with it.  I suppose I could have knocked it all out at one of the encampments.
