PSI Cadets, sometimes called campers, are young psychics who undergo annual training at Whispering Rock Psychic Summer Camp in order to become Psychonauts. They complete camp activities to increase their PSI-Cadet Rank and develop new powers which are represented in the form of Merit Badges. They each receive a participation badge at the end of camp.
PSI Cadets can also be apprentices at the Psychonauts organization and not need attend the camp. In the ranking system for the Psychonauts, these are the lowest members, but, if completing all the classes and/or proving to be skilled psychic with newly learned PSI-Powers, they get ascended to Interns at the official HQ for the Psychonauts, The Motherlobe. At this category, interns are now put to practice more developed powers as well as having to earn Intern Credits.
