General Information

The 2024 Illinois Wing Summer Encampment took place Saturday, 13 July 2024, through Saturday, 20 July 2024, at the Marseilles Training Center (MTC) near Marseilles, IL.  The MTC is an Army National Guard facility.  If you have not attended an Encampment previously, you should plan to attend Encampment this summer! Successful completion of a Civil Air Patrol Encampment is a prerequisite to earning the CAP General Billy Mitchell Award. In addition to gaining useful leadership experience and in-depth knowledge of the United States Air Force and Civil Air Patrol, you will meet cadets from Illinois Wing and other Wings and share in a week of learning, sports, and social activities.

NEW FOR 2024!

Registration and payment and payment will be accepted though EServices via the new “Registration Zone” application.  Please note that this system is still under development and some functions will be added as we get closer to July.  The first item you will notice is that payment will not be available at the time of our application launch.  Pending credit card transaction fees and a finalization of our budget, we anticipate the cost to attend to be $200.00 per cadet.  Please be patient with us as we transition to this new system.
