Sixteen to 18 year-old female and male high school dropouts are eligible for the 17 month program, which includes a five month residential phase followed by a twelve month mentoring phase. Started by the National Guard in 1993, the NGYCP has been independently rated the most cost-effective, efficient and successful program for at-risk youth in the United States. Groups from the Hoosier Youth ChalleNGe academy arrived at Columbus Youth Camp and completed group challenges such as High Ropes, Low Ropes, and the Pamper Pole.
