Space Academy

Do the moon and stars intrigue you? The AF FMP sponsored Space Camp may be for you. The camp is typically scheduled the last part of July first part of August. Two camps are offered: Space Academy for youth ages 12-14 and Advanced Space Academy for youth ages 15-18. Participants are selected through a competitive application process.

Teen Aviation

AF FMP’s Aviation Camp is an awesome opportunity for teens to have a glimpse of life at the United States Air Force Academy. Aviation Camp is offered annually the first week in June. Flying in a Cessna 145 is just one of the highlights at this camp. Participants are selected through a competitive application process. Only teens currently in their freshman or sophmore year of high-school may apply.

AF Chess

The Air Force Chess program provides opportunities for families, youth, and other community members to participate in a recreational/educational activity. The Chess Program includes base, MACJOM, and Air Force level chess tournaments and is conducted through the Community Center (CC) or Youth Programs (YP). All persons eligible to use the CC or YP may participate in the base-level and MAJCOM tournaments. The program culminates with active duty Air Force members’ participation in the Inter-Service and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Chess tournaments.

Family and Teen Talent Contest

As part of the Nell Buckley Performing Arts Series, HQ AFSVA/SVPY, in conjunction with HQ AFSVA/SVPCE, conducts an annual Air Force Worldwide Family & Teen Talent Contest. This program reinforces creative expression and helps our youth gain a better appreciation of the performing arts. The base-level program also provides a positive family experience for the entire base population.

Youth Of the Year

Air Force Youth Programs are affiliated with the National Boys and Girls Clubs of America (B&GCA). As affiliates, we participate in the B&GCA premier youth recognition program, the Youth of the Year. The program begins annually with each base Youth Programs selecting a Youth of the Year. To compete locally, nominees submit personal essays and information packages describing their involvement with home and family, moral character, community, school, service to club, and life goals. If selected as the base Youth of the Year, the young person then competes in both the state and Major Command competition. Each state winner may have the opportunity to compete in regional competition. All installation winners are recognized by Air Force Services, Family Member Programs.

FitFactor

Are you ready to Get Up, Get Out, Get Fit? The US Air Force Services is launching FitFactor, a new youth fitness initiative that rewards and encourages physical activity, and healthy eating selections for youth between the ages of 9-18 years old.
