Application Approval Process

The encampment cadre reviews submitted applications, forms, and documents for completeness as they are received. Incomplete applications will be returned for corrections and suspends the approval process pending receipt of a corrected package.

Once an application is approved, the encampment cadre will notify the cadet, parent, and squadron that the cadet has tentatively been SLOTTED pending receipt of payment. The notice will include instructions on how to pay.

When payment is received, the cadre will notify the cadet, parent, and squadron that the cadet has a CONFIRMED slot at the encampment. View Payment Information for payment options. 

The encampment has a limit of around 200 slots for first-time cadets. Once available slots are filled, a waitlist will be created and maintained. On July 1, 2024, unfilled/unconfirmed slots will be reallocated to those on the waitlist based on the earliest submission date.
