Mentor Workshop
While this workshop was developed to train seniors to be able to be effective at encampments, the training is equally useful in squadrons or on missions. If you work with cadets in any capacity, this workshop is for you. The Air Force and our national Civil Air Patrol have recognized that mentoring is a valuable tool in training, and is especially relevant with regard to our cadet program. This workshop is continually evolving, so plan on attending even if you have participated in the past. Lt.Col. Janet Schachner is a 'master teacher' and has created an outstanding workshop. If you are curious about encampments, and are considering applying for staff -- this is the place to be. This workshop is a requirement for all senior staff members. Returning staff members will participate in a 'refresher' course and then assist in the Leadership Workshop which is held at the same time. Individuals who have not participated in this workshop previously will have an in-depth full-day course on mentoring. As a by-product you will be able to find out more about the encampment and meet with the Encampment Commander. This will provide an opportunity to determine where you can best serve the encampment. |

Staff Skills Workshop Information
The Staff Skills Workshop is focused entirely on providing the necessary training for each staff person to be able to successful do their assigned job at the encampment. All staff (both senior and cadet) are expected to attend. This activity is key to the success of the encampment. Required Staff Training (a requirement by National Civil Air Patrol for anyone participating on staff at an encampment) is held on Saturday. It is expected that all staff will attend this workshop. This is really the 'beginning' of the encampment. Each department will begin performing their jobs: ADM will be preparing the information mailing for accepted cadets, as well as registering the participants of the workshop, PAO will be creating their first newsletter, flight staff will have the names and contact information of the individuals in their flight and will be preparing to contact them, Mess OPS will be doing trial runs on dispensing food. Staff members who do not attend this workshop are at a significant disadvantage for getting the most out of their staff assignment. This activity is held at Stratton ANG. Participants arrive on Friday evening and leave on Sunday morning. Seniors who are not mentors often just come for the day on Saturday for the Required Staff Training. 2012 Staff Skills WorkshopDates: 22-24 June 2012Location: Stratton Air National Guard Base, Scotia, NY (if staying on base, bring bedding) Directions Start Time: 2000 hrs on Friday night End Time: 1000 hrs on Sunday morning Application Process: Submit NYWF17c (PDF Format) to Encampment Registrar by one week prior to Workshop Cost: $20 (Includes all meals on Saturday and Sunday breakfast, as well as other materials)
