From Neil Rapp, WB9VPG, 2021 YOTA Americas Camp Director
"We know that changes in the COVID-19 pandemic status between now and July will have an impact on our decision to host the camp. At this time,
we are still hopeful that hosting the camp safely July 11-16, 2021 will be possible. Should we not be able to host the camp, we will let
everyone know with as much notice as possible, and postpone it to 2022. Our plan is to make the final decision in the month of April.
"Pre-Registration just started for those campers who were accepted to the camp for 2020 to attend in 2021. That will continue through the
end of February. At that time, we will evaluate how many positions are available for additional campers from all across the Americas in
order to fill the capacity to 30. In March, we will begin taking applications for those remaining spots."
