____________________

Once a cadet has attended a UK RAF camp and has reached the age of 15 they will be able to apply for Overseas camps. The ATC runs overseas camps at RAF Gibraltar, RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus (Cyprus is a 2-week camp) and in Germany .

Overseas camps are typically more relaxed because of the greater experience amongst the participants. They concentrate less on drill and inspections and more on the other aspects of camp, such as gaining valuable work experience with RAF personnel, visiting local sites of historic and/or military interest. Cadets also get the opportunity to explore towns in the local area of their camp, such as Limassol in Cyprus. Canvey Island Air Cadets have regularly been on camps to Germany, Cyprus and Gibraltar.
