ILLINOIS WING SUMMER ENCAMPMENT - CADET STAFF
The 2026 Illinois Wing Summer Encampment Cadet Commander, C/Lt Col Makayla Shane has shared her commander's intent for 2026 encampment:
"My vision for the 2026 ILWG Summer Encampment is to create an environment where cadets and cadre are challenged to grow both individually and as a team through hands-on immersive training, thus allowing them to develop as confident leaders who live Civil Air Patrol’s core values and are prepared to apply what they have learned in order to serve others both within and outside of Civil Air Patrol."
