Civil Air Patrol has three missions: Cadet Programs, Emergency Services and Aerospace Education.
Cadet Programs is a Learning Laboratory! Cadets learn about how to be a leader, how to have respect for themselves and others, physical fitness, how to be mentored and mentor others and how to not only DO by ENJOY serving others and their community. Youth who complete this program, are better students, entrepreneurs, employees and community members.
Emergency Services is a large part of our program. Cadets learn first aid, land navigation skills, survival skills, team work and much more!
Aerospace Education includes rocket building, plane rides, learning about space and how airplanes are put together! Civil Air Patrol is the Aerospace Education program in our Country for youth!
