Twenty five TS Calliope and Wanganui Cadet Corps cadets attended a camp at Pauri Lake on the weekend.
On Saturday the combined force did sailing and boatwork while Sunday was reserved for land-based activities.
A new safety boat was also tested for the first time. The boat was purchased with a grant from Powerco Trust.
TS Calliope is recruiting new cadets now for joining the unit next year.
