What is a Cadet Camp?
A Cadet Camp is not a recreational holiday camp. A
Cadet Camp is not a vacation Bible study camp. A
Cadet Camp is not a day care or child minding
program. A Cadet Camp is a Training
Establishment. As such, cadets attending camp
are not on a holiday, but rather they have
competed to occupy a place at a training school.
They hope to advance their skills and knowledge
and possibly advance in rank upon return to their
cadet unit.
