Youth Camp

Parents, are you looking for fun and adventurous activities for your children to partake in during the summer break? Then the South Carolina National Guard Youth Camp is the place. Youth Camp is accepting applications for children ages 10-17. Children must be the immediate family member (i.e. son, daughter, brother, or sister) of a South Carolina National Guard member, retiree, or employee. Grandchildren of South Carolina National Guard members, retirees, or employees will be considered after all qualified applicants.

Teen Panel

A unique opportunity to become involved with other National Guard teens, creating a small committee to build relationships that involve networking, discuss and solve teen issues, and venture out in ways unimaginable. This program will help to cultivate communication, development and leadership skills.
