YOUR NEXT THREE STEPS

Prepare for encampment

Find an official event, review its requirements, and organize what needs to happen before you go.

  1. Find the right event

    Start with CAP’s encampment directory. Check the host’s current dates, location, eligibility, and application instructions.

  2. Review registration and assistance

    Follow the host’s instructions for applications and deadlines. CAP’s assistance program explains available support and its application process.

  3. Prepare with the host’s checklist

    Use the event’s own packing list and arrival instructions. Add preparation items and source links to a MyCompass plan.
