The Homer Cadet Squadron
The Homer Cadet Squadron is located near the shores of Kachemak Bay surrounded by beautiful mountains and glaciers, the Civil Air Patrol Homer Flight is located on the airport grounds in 2 CAP buildings. This Squadron combines both a consistent drive for education, fitness and leadership development with an energized spirit of fun and adventure. This balance creates a fulfilling environment where Cadets of diverse backgrounds can thrive.
When Cadets get up in the air with CAP Pilots a few times a year, over time, they have the luxury of experiencing both runway takeoffs and flying on a float plane from gorgeous Beluga Lake.
The Hangar, with a large project build, PT and drill space, houses the primary meeting location, as well as a robust Cadets Education Center and meeting room.
The organization is built on an incredibly strong foundation of leadership including Educators, former Military, Entrepreneurs and dedicated community members. That breadth of Senior Member talent is the secret to the quick growth and supports a sustainable, successful future in Homer.

Join as a CadetAs a CAP cadet, you will participate in a year-round program where you fly, learn to lead, hike, camp, get in shape, and push yourself to new limits. The program transforms youth into dynamic citizens and aerospace leaders through a curriculum that focuses on four elements: leadership, aerospace, fitness, and character. As you participate in these four elements, you advance through a series of achievements, earning honors and increased responsibilities. Many of the nation's astronauts, pilots, engineers, and scientists first explored their careers through CAP. The leadership skills, self-confidence, and discipline you gain will prepare you to achieve whatever goals you set for yourself in life. If you’re between 12 and 18 years of age and dreaming about a career in aviation, space or the military, CAP’s Cadet Program is for you. |
