Radio Amateurs of Canada is pleased to announce that the Youth On The Air (YOTA) Camp will once again be held in Canada!
Attention all young Amateur Radio operators! YOTA Camp is back and better than ever! After the success of the YOTA Camp in Ottawa in July 2023, Radio Amateurs of Canada has teamed up with Youth On The Air Americas to bring YOTA back to Canada.
YOTA Camp 2024 will be held at the Mount Saint Vincent University campus in Halifax, Nova Scotia from July 7 to July 12. Modelled after the successful Youngsters On The Air program in Region 1 of the International Amateur Radio Union (IARU), this will be the fourth YOTA Camp in the Americas with past camps being held in Cincinnati, USA (2021 and 2022) and Ottawa, Canada (2023).
YOTA Camp is open to Amateur Radio operators between the ages of 15 and 25. A total of 50 campers will be accepted to this year’s program, an increase from last year. Don’t miss out on this incredible opportunity!
Come to YOTA Camp and we’ll teach you all kinds of cutting-edge technology that can be used with Amateur Radio and connect you to other young operators and mentors in North, Central and South America. Through this program, young Amateurs will learn and practise essential skills taught through STEM principles such as electronics and radio wave propagation. The program will also prepare young Amateurs to contribute during emergencies and provide numerous opportunities in their own communities and future careers.
Are you already an expert? We are seeking young Amateurs who are willing to take their knowledge to the next level and share their past experiences with other young Amateurs. The camp will primarily focus on building strong relationships with peers and mentors, as well as developing new radio skills. Campers will operate a special event station featuring cutting-edge HF and VHF/UHF radios and a wide array of antennas that many only dream of using.
Applications are now being accepted! Applications submitted by January 15, 2024 and first-time attendees will be given priority. We will accept applications through May 31, 2024.
