An important part of Cadet life is attending Annual Camp here there is an opportunity to attend an operational RAF station. The camps lasts one week (normally Saturday to Saturday or Wednesday to Wednesday) where Cadets see what life is like on an RAF station. 

Cadets stay in RAF accommodation blocks or in tented camps. Food is provided by the airman's mess and Cadets get to visit the various sections around the station (such as the squadrons, the engineering flights etc.). Other activities include sports, orienteering and night exercises, quizzes, aircraft recognition competitions and any social activities which may be available. It is also an excellent opportunity to meet new friends and have a lot of fun.

On arriving at camp, the cadets will be split into two or more flights.

There will be drill, uniform and room inspections but these, along with all the other activities, earn points for you as an individual and for your flight as a whole.

Each cadet at camp will normally get a flight in one of the Air Experience Flight's Tutor aircraft and being on an RAF station puts cadets in a perfect position to get opportunity flights on any other aircraft which may have a few spare seats. There are even a few opportunities to fly in fast jets such as the Hawk.

For first-hand experience of what a job within the Royal Air Force entails, Cadets over 16 years of age may go on Work Experience placements, working alongside regular RAF personnel.
