Permission Slips & Health Forms

Cadet Activities

Each cadet activity comes with unique challenges and learning experiences. Because of this, units are required to assess the safety hazards which may influence the activity's design and risks exposure to CAP members. Cadet activities are categorized into four sub-types based on their frequency of occurrence and associated risks: 

• Weekly Meetings — Recurring squadron meetings in which cadets conduct "normal" training operations to develop their personal leadership experience and advance through the CAP Cadet Program

• Cadet Special Activities (CSA) — Cadet activities which fall outside of the weekly squadron meeting; may be hosted by the squadron or higher echelon

• Challenge Activities (CA) — Activities in which cadets may be exposed to moderate risks for injury, exhaustion, or mental fatigue (e.g., camping, hiking, indoor trampoline parks, low ropes, swimming, etc.)

• High-Adventure Activities (HAA) — Activities in which cadets may be exposed to high risks for injury (e.g., firearms training, high ropes, rappelling, zip-lining, etc.)

For more information about Challenge Activities and High-Adventure Activities, review CAP Regulation 60-2 Cadet Protection Program, Section 2.7.
