ALERT Cadet regional and international camps assist ALERT Cadet fathers in three ways, as camps:
- Serve as tools to motivate their sons and encourage them to love and good deeds.
- Provide opportunities to receive training in specialized areas that might not be available for every family.
- Allow travel to different places, create life-long memories, and provide time spent in God’s out-of-doors learning environment.
“Follow After Me as I Follow After Christ” is the theme for the 2011 ALERT Cadet sponsored camps. Paul exhorts the Corinthian believers in 1 Corinthians 11:1 to follow his earthly example as he strives to follow Christ’s earthly example. Many young men, and fathers, need a live human model to look at as they decide the character issues in their life. The best example for a young man is his father. For a father, the best example is Christ. Fathers, we must work with our young men to grow them up in wisdom and give them the skills to teach others and the character to be patient with those who are still developing in their faith. Our camp wisdom searches and evening messages will focus on practical application of these truths in the lives of fathers and sons. We hope you will be able to join us at one of our camps!
We offer two different types of camps, each serving a unique purpose.
Father/Son Camps -Father/Son camps combine outdoor activities, practical skills instruction, service projects, and Bible teaching to aid fathers in winning the hearts of their sons. These camps often include a service project, structured skill and Bible teaching, and ample free time for father and son interaction. The winter camp will require extra gear, while the service camps will have reduced fees in exchange for significant service at the camp facilities.
Leadership Training Corps (LTC) Camps – LTC camps equip ALERT Cadets aged 13 and older with leadership training and specialized skills. Our desire is that these trained young men assume greater leadership responsibility in their ALERT Cadet units and teach the skills they have learned. Fathers are welcome, but not required, to participate with their sons.

To participate in all ALERT Cadet Camps, you must have completed the ALERT Cadet Basic Training Manual (BTM) before the camp. The BTM can be completed in as little as 28 days.
