Applications are now being accepted for campers interested in attending the
2025 Youth on the Air Camp. Licensed amateur radio operators, ages 15 through
25, who want to attend are encouraged to apply online at YouthOnTheAir.org[1].
The camp is scheduled to take place June 15 - 20, 2025, in Thornton (Denver),
Colorado and the Denver Radio Club[2], an ARRL Affiliated Club, is the local
host.

The current application period is for the fifth camp for young amateur radio
operators in North, Central, and South America. For the best chance at being
selected, applications should be submitted by 2359Z on January 15, 2025.
Campers will be selected by the working group and notified by February 1.

To encourage attendance from across the Americas, allocations for campers are
being held open for various areas of North, Central, and South America. If
countries do not use their allocation or should someone within an allocation
decline acceptance, those positions will be filled from the remaining pool of
applicants. As this will be an ongoing process, everyone will not receive
notification of acceptance at the same time. Preference will be given to
first-time attendees.

Applications will continue to be accepted through May 1 and up to 50 campers
will be accepted. The application process is free, but a $100 USD deposit is
required upon acceptance. Should a potential camper be unable to pay the $100
deposit, they may apply for a scholarship or waiver. Campers are also
responsible for their own arrival and departure transportation to the camp
location. Travel assistance may also be available, especially for those
traveling from outside of the USA and Canada. Travel during camp events is
provided.

For details about the camp, visit the camp web page at YouthOnTheAir.org[3] or
