Every year, cadets from Minnesota, and sometimes places as far away as California come to the Academy. The Academy offers powered instruction in Cessna 172s and non-powered Blanik gliders. The goal of the Academy is to provide cadets with enough training to potentially complete their first solo flight while at the Academy.

Many of the Squadrons in MNWG have cadets in them (as either a composite Squadron or a Cadet Squadron). Minnesota's encampment is held every year at Camp Ripley near Brainerd, Minnesota.
