The 2013 Lone Star Emergency Services Academy will be held 16-23 June (staff day 15) in Big Sandy, Texas, at the ALERT Academy. Our school, in its sixth year, has been sanctioned by Southwest Region and has been through the National Civil Air Patrol accreditation process. We are very proud of this distinction and the LESA staff looks forward to opening our doors to CAP members from across the nation. 

Our facility offers outstanding accommodations, classrooms, an airfield and many acres of woods for training. Once again we will have the newer, upgraded dorm rooms that will afford more privacy to our participants. To obtain the great rate we've negotiated, students must bring their own sheets, blankets, and towels.  

The curriculum for each LESA School follows the task guides and SQTRs developed by CAP or expands them with nationally recognized curriculums from NASAR, Wilderness First Responder and Red Cross. Some schools have minimum-age requirements because of the level of academic commitment required to be successful, other training is governed by CAP regulations and is limited to individuals age 18 and up. Consult the application for age limitations and prerequisites.

We know Big Sandy is a long trip for many of you. However, we'll provide inbound or outbound sorties to cover the cost of fuel, and this should help make the trip easier. This should be arranged with the LESA Administrator two weeks in advance in order to get sorties into WMIRS.

Lone Star Emergency Services Academy offers a wider variety of class options at a more affordable price than other CAP academies, our facilities are outstanding, and we offer to cover transportation costs to the event. Why would you want to go anywhere else?
