Summer Cadet Staff  and Cadet Camp General Information Page

Information for 2026 Summer Training, including various resources and guides, was released at the end of November. This email serves as a quick reference to corps and squadrons to help point to relevant information and provide guidance through the application process.

2026 Highlights

• Number of billets: Summer 2026 will look very similar to 2025 with a slight increase in overall billets available to cadets in RCSU Central.

• Out of Region (OOR) opportunities: For summer 2026, the majority of billets available for cadets in RCSU Central will be in-region. Most cadets attending CTC will not being going OOR and will attend one of the three CTCs in-region. Further detail is available on the Regional CTC SharePoint page.

• Multi-serial courses: Several 2-week CTC courses will be run over multiple serials in summer 2026. Where practical, areas have been grouped onto serials along geographic lines – this means not all serials have been published to every corps/squadron.  This has not impacted the proportional share of billets available but will ensure a smoother movements process for cadets during the summer.
