Thirty-six teens will have the opportunity to attend the fifth annual Air Force Teen Aviation Camp at the U.S. Air Force Academy. The camp will run June 5 to 11.

High-school students who have completed their freshman or sophomore year and are interested in the academy and aviation camp should submit an application by March 12.

Applications and student criteria for the 2004 Teen Aviation Camp is available at local youth centers.

Students will be notified of their selection to the camp by April 9.

"The camp gives an insight into what life at the academy will be like," said Bridget Kieschnick, a youth specialist at the Air Force Services Agency and camp project officer. "It shows what the environment and the facilities are like and what the opportunities are at the academy."

Teens participating in the program will experience a mix of activities intended to provide learning and social experiences.
