Graduation Information

Graduation will take place on Tuesday, 02 July 2024 at 11:30am on the
Camp Roberts Parade Field.

Parents and friends are encouraged to arrive as early as 8:00-10:00 for parking and seating considerations.  The base museum will be open as well as food trucks are available.

All drivers need to have their drivers license, current insurance, and current vehicle registration to enter the base. These must be printed as security will not take electronic versions.

There are no bleachers, please bring chairs and hats/sunglasses/small umbrellas due to sun exposure.

Weather is expected to reach 100+ degrees, Excessive Heat Warning, be prepared! Please bring your own water and drink up, even before you feel thirsty. Also, sunburns are very common, so apply sunscreen multiple times per day to stay protected.

Please feel free to take as many pictures or videos as you would like. And please cheer loudly in support of your cadets as they proudly march in review!    

At the conclusion, the cadets will gather in formation at the parking lot and formally be dismissed. At this point, the cadets will be given “Go Home Cards” which they MUST have their driver completely fill out before returning it to their Training Officer and receiving their Graduation Packet. The card must be filled out in order to receive the packet and be released from Encampment.

All of the above will be explained in detail by Encampment Staff on the day of the Graduation.

Please travel safe, and thank you for your continued support of the Civil Air Patrol Cadet Program.
