The West Virginia Wing will be conducting its 2009 Cadet Summer
Encampment from July 11 - 18, at Camp Dawson, WV. Camp Dawson is located
in Kingwood, WV, and is the training base for the West Virginia National
Guard and Army Special Forces. The base provides lots of interesting
activities and tours for the participants.
Forms for submitting applications for the encampment can be downloaded
at the bottom of this page or requested from your squadron commander.
Applications for the encampment must be made on the WV Wing Cadet
Programs Activity Application Form (WVF 52-1). In addition, applicants
must also submit a Medical Information Form (WVF 52-2) and an Air
Transportation Agreement Form (DD-1381), along with a check or money
order for the encampment fee. The cost for this year's encampment is
$60 for WV cadets and $90 for out of wing cadets.
Applications for the encampment must be received
NLT July 1st.
We are in the process of setting up the schedule of activities for the
encampment and will try to replicate most of last year's training and
activities, with some additions and modifications.
Cadets and
senior members interested in applying for staff positions must have
their applications in by June 15, 2009 and will be expected to
report to camp on July 10. Senior applicants must comply with the
requirements of CAPR 52-16 and the WV Wing Supplement to that
regulation.
A suggested clothing and equipment list can be downloaded and should be
followed. Cadets must have a current membership card to attend the
encampment and will report to the encampment with a proper haircut.
Cadets are not allowed to bring cell phones to the encampment without
the advanced permission of the Encampment Commander.
Send all completed applications to...
Lt Col Dennis D. Barron, C.A.P.
P.O. Box 559
Martinsburg, WV 25402.
Do not mail these applications to WV Wing Headquarters. That will only
delay the process and possibly prevent your application from being
received by the deadline. Checks or money orders for the encampment fee
are to be made payable to the "West Virginia Wing Summer Encampment".
Any questions should be addressed to the Encampment Commander either by
email at
cadet411@earthlink.net or by calling (304) 267-8042 (H) or (540)
868-4717 during the day.
