Youth on the air 2025 application period continues

Applications are still being accepted for campers interested in attending 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. The camp is scheduled to take place June 15 through 20, 2025, in Thornton (Denver), Colorado, United States of America.

Priority applications are now closed however regular applications will continue to be accepted until 2359Z on May 1, 2025. 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.
