The program accepts new cadets who are at least 12 years old and not yet 19 years old. It is a year-round program with weekly meetings starting at 6:30pm at the Valley Church of Christ on Majestic View Circle in Wasilla.

Civil Air Patrol is a youth development program that incorporates aviation and military customs and courtesies. CAP cadets develop into responsible citizens and become tomorrow's aerospace leaders. The leadership skills, self-confidence and discipline cadets gain through CAP prepares them to achieve whatever goals they set for themselves in life.

To fulfill its goal of developing young people into responsible citizens and aerospace leaders, the cadet program is developed around five program elements: leadership, character development, aerospace education, physical fitness and activities. As cadets participate in these five elements, they advance through a series of achievements, earning honors and increased responsibilities along the way.
