YOUTH ON THE AIR CAMP PREPS FOR JUNE

JIM/ANCHOR: What are young ham radio operators planning to do this June? 
The start of the new year means it's time to start thinking about that. 
Sel Embee, KB3TZD, presents one option.

SEL: The second Youth on the Air Camp for the Americas will be accepting 
applications for the June 2022 session in just a few weeks.

The pilot camp program held in 2021, was such a success that it is 
returning to the National Voice of America Museum of Broadcasting in 
West Chester Township, Ohio on June 12th through 17th. Prospective 
campers may start applying on February 11th. Applicants must reside in 
Central, South or North America. Thirty campers will be accepted for the 
session and spots will be reserved especially for those who are from the 
Americas but do not live in the United States. Priority will be given to 
first-time attendees.

Licensed amateurs between the ages of 15 and 25 are eligible to be 
campers. If COVID-19 restrictions change between now and June, 
organizers will alert everyone with as much notice as possible. For 
details, visit YouthOnTheAir dot org

Then starting in 2023, applications to host the camp at various 
locations throughout the Americas each year will be considered from IARU 
region 2 member societies and clubs.
