Annual Camp on an RAF
Station is the highlight of the cadet year. The cadets are given the opportunity
to spend one week on an RAF station. The primary purpose is to let cadets
experience what life is like on an RAF camp. It is also an excellent opportunity
to meet new friends and have a lot of fun.
Cadets sleep in RAF
accommodation blocks or even tents, eat at the airman's mess and visit the
various sections around the station (such as squadrons, the control tower
etc.), as well as take part in sports, orienteering and night exercises
and any social activities
which may be available.
There will be drill,
uniform and room inspections but these, along with all the other activities,
earn points for you as an individual and for your flight.
Each cadet at camp
will normally get a flight and cadets over 16 years of age may receive
a Work Experience placement whilst on the camp where they see first-hand
exactly what a job within the Royal Air Force entails. To be able to go
on any camps you need to be 1st class cadet which you should get with in
6months of the Air Training Corps.
One of the highlights
of the year is the Royal International Air Tattoo, where there is the
chance you can help set up the show and enjoy the air displays throughout
the weekend free for a thank you of your hard work.
