My son went to AFJROTC Honors Camp at Kirtland AF Base, New Mexico, the summer after his freshman year of high school. It IS a special honor to attend because first, you are one of only a few in your unit chosen by your instructor to apply; then there is a fairly detailed application for the program, and not all who apply are accepted. Acceptance is highly based on academic qualifications. In contrast, pretty much any JROTC cadet can attend the SLS which his/her unit is going to. Anyway, my son had a blast at Honors Camp - many engineering-type workshops, social activities, and laid-back interactions with other campers, college ROTC cadets, and adult officers. SLS was much more demanding physically and militarily and was definitely not considered as much "fun" by my son. Both probably look good on your resume if considering a Service Academy or ROTC scholarship.
