What We DoAdventure Training Climbing is just one activity cadets can participate in Adventure Training is an important part of the ATC's training syllabus. One of our aims is "to foster the spirit of adventure" after all! Cadets get involved in this very soon after joining the Squadron - Initial Expedition Training (IET) and Map Reading are two of the subjects taught to new cadets. Walking, climbing, sailing, windsurfing, canoeing, kayaking, caving, diving, Nordic skiing, hang gliding, parachuting, assault courses, orienteering... These are just some of the adventurous activities that Air Cadets can participate in and in some cases, gain qualifications for. Standing at the bottom of a mountain looking up can be daunting but you can't beat the sense of achievement when you're at the summit, feeling as if you're on top of the world!  Cadets are also instructed in map reading and campcraft A lot of adventure training takes place at Squadron level but there are also courses with Kent Wing, centrally with the Corps and even with other cadet organizations and the Armed Forces themselves.
