Summer Programs of Adventures, Challenges, Encampments and Schools (SPACES)The 2010 SPACES information is now available. Young Marines must meet the basic requirements of each SPACES activity. A YM may only apply for one SPACES activity per summer. They may also attend one “School” training activity if they are eligible. Therefore, your Young Marine may be able to attend two SPACES during the summer. Please check over the SPACES information, and then let Mr. Carlyle know as soon as you can. Early registration begins on January 4, 2010. Some of these SPACES have limited enrollment numbers of Young Marines they will accept, so promptness is important to get the SPACES activity you want. Also, there are some SPACES (i.e., Training Schools) that have restrictions between January 4 to January 18, 2010. Please refer to your specific school for the attendance restrictions. Many indicate that only "1" or "2" Young Marines from our Unit may sign up for that activity (first come, first serve). This allows other Units to get their people signed up too. Of course, after January 18th, any open spots can be filled without any problem. Once you have been accepted by Young Marines National Headquarters, you will be required to fill out the forms we give you and provide payment indicated for your specific SPACES activity at that time. They usually provide you with only fifteen days to get this information mailed in to them after accepting you. If paperwork and payment isn't received within this time period your enrollment will be cancelled so someone else may attend. This information is mandated by Young Marines National Headquarters. Please double-check the individual prices for the different SPACES activities. National Headquarters isn't receiving as much funding from the Federal Govenment to assist in paying for our activities. So due to this fact, the prices have increased considerably. Another very important consideration while signing up your Young Marine for SPACES....ALL SPACES NOW HAVE A NON-REFUNDABLE $300.00 FEE, SO IF YOUR YOUNG MARINE CHANGES THEIR MIND AFTER YOU'VE PAID FOR THE SPACES ACTIVITY, $300.00 OF YOUR PAYMENT WILL BE KEPT BY NATIONAL.
