    CAMP SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. — Excited for today’s corps of cadets and nostalgic for their time in the corps, two California Cadet Corps alumni recently visited the ongoing 2023 CACC Summer Encampment here on June 23. Brittany Tarula, 22, now a senior at the University of La Verne, and Stacy Bencomo, 23, a recent graduate of the University of California at Riverside, both credit the CACC for their collegiate success.

  2. Summer Encampment Law Enforcement Unit is Much More Than Policing

    CAMP SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. — Five years ago, when Grant Ward, a sergeant with the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department, first participated in the California Cadet Corps Summer Encampment as the Law Enforcement Unit instructor, he could not have imagined that he would become so passionate about the work: “It's really cool to see the cadets learn and grow from day one to the end of the program.”

    CAMP SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. — When Lt. Col. David Archer first joined the California Cadet Corps in middle school, he never would have guessed that he’d one day be entrusted with the high level of responsibility expected of a senior officer. Decades later, Archer is now the Acting Executive Officer of the 5,000-strong California Cadet Corps (CACC). More than 450 cadets and 95 adult commandant leaders from across the state are participating in CACC’s annual Summer Encampment here June 18-28.
