• HOW:

  • First-time Cadet Applications are now available on eServices via Registration Zone. Here is the direct link:  https://www.capnhq.gov/CAP.Experiences.Web/Registration/RegistrationDetails?EventID=882

    • You will need to login to eServices

    • If the link does not work for you.  Navigate to Registration Zone and place ‘RMR-CO’ in the search bar.  This will take you to just the Colorado events and you should find the Encampment Student Applications quickly. 

  • If you have difficulty with the Registration Zone process, not to worry!  Let us know at encampment.summer@cowg.cap.gov 

    • Registration Zone is a new process for all of Civil Air Patrol and we do expect to work out some bumps.  

    • There are humans behind all of this and we understand if something didn’t go right.  We will work with you.
