The first Air Force Reserve/Air National Guard Annual Teen Leadership Summit was held July 14-18, 2008 at Wahsega 4-H Center in Dahlonega, Ga. AFR and ANG dependent teens ages 14-18 were flown in from across the country to participate in a five day camp focused on fostering leadership skills and self confidence, developing an awareness of programs and services available to Air Force dependents, and building an appreciation of and sense of belonging to the Air Force community.

To satisfy teens' intrinsic need to test boundaries and push limits, high adventure activities were included such as rock climbing, ropes course and white water rafting. The summit concluded with a teen created and led presentation to AFR leadership on their top issues as Air Force dependents. With the overwhelming success of the first Teen Summit, the program continues to grow.

This years camps are scheduled as follows:

Classic Teen Leadership Summit, June 19-24, Wahsega 4-H Center, Dahlonega, Ga.

Capitol Teen Leadership Summit, July 24-29, Washington, DC

Adventure Teen Leadership Summit, Aug. 9-14, Cheley Colorado Camps, Estes Park, Colo.
