Civil Air Patrol Cadet Program North Dakota Wing

The North Dakota Wing’s Civil Air Patrol Cadet Program is designed to inspire and develop young individuals from 6th grade through age 21 by immersing them in the field of aviation and leadership. Cadets progress through a multi-step program that includes aerospace studies, leadership skills development, physical fitness, and character building. The program offers exceptional experiences such as opportunities to solo pilot light aircraft at reduced costs and compete for educational scholarships in related fields. Exchange programs allow cadets to fly abroad with other countries’ youth, enhancing their cultural and aviation perspectives. The CAP Cadet Program prepares youth for leadership roles, with many alumni attending top military academies and enjoying benefits such as immediate ranks upon joining the Air Force.
