Summer Camp For Teens

Thank you for applying to be considered to attend this unique Air Camp event designed to serve and inspire high school students who have a reliable connection to someone who is currently directly connected in a verifiable way to Wright Patterson Air Force Base. Based on the information submitted within your application, your eligibility to be considered by the Selection Committee will be determined internally. Each session of Air Camp will be filled by a limited number of students, each of whom are selected through a competitive application process. The Selection Committee is seeking students who can successfully demonstrate individual interest in STEM subjects and genuine excitement about the potential to explore aviation and aerospace during the application process. The application process consists of three steps:

STEP ONE - General Information About Applicant (and parent / guardian information).

STEP TWO - Student Essay (300 words or less) and Teacher Contact Information allowing Air Camp to solicit a digital recommendation on behalf of the applicant. (The Essay link will be sent to the email address entered for the parent / guardian on the same day STEP 1 is successfully submitted.)

STEP THREE - Teacher Recommendation provided electronically by the teacher, no handwritten/typed or digital uploads will be permitted. The applicant will submit the teachers contact information in step 2; Air Camp will automatically contact the teacher with the email address provided. It is the responsibility of the student applicant and/or parent to notify the teacher in advance that his or her contact information has been submitted within the application to attend Air Camp and that they should expect to receive a recommendation request by email directly from Air Camp. It is the responsibility of the applicant and/or parent to coordinate communication with the teacher in the event that he/she has not received it within 24 hours of submitting the complete application. Unfortunately, sometimes the automated email invitation will end up in the teachers SPAM/JUNK folder or be blocked by a school firewall, therefore it is important that the student applicant and/or parent followup with the teacher to ensure it was received. Air Camp is not responsible for a teacher not being able to access the recommendation invite but if we are made aware there is a problem we will gladly attempt to help solve the problem. Unfortunately, if Air Camp does not receive a digital teacher’s recommendation within the required application timeframe the student’s application will likely be disqualified from consideration.

The high school program for WPAFB Families is 4 days in length. Daily drop off and pickup will be at the University of Dayton or a similar institution in the Greater Dayton Area. Please indicate that the student is available to attend programing in the following week:*

July 10 - 13, 2023
