RAF Valley parents a number of Air Training Corps (ATC) Squadrons in the area and hosts many squadrons from throughout the UK during their annual Summer Camps.

The ATC is a national youth organization sponsored by the Royal Air Force in the UK. Membership is open to young people aged between 13 and 22 years, inclusive. The Air Cadets Organization is comprised of the Air Training Corps and the Combined Cadet Force (RAF). The ATC and CCF(RAF) share many similarities but there are a number of differences in structure, training programmes, recruitment etc.

The "Air Cadets"; provides the opportunity for members to take part in a huge and diverse range of exciting and challenging activities. Many are organized at National and Regional level, many others take place locally at Wing and Squadron levels. If your interest is in Flying, Sports, Adventure Training, Camping, Engineering, Shooting, Drill, Music, Water sports, Abseiling, Overseas Travel… (the list is a VERY long one!). Many of the competitive elements could see you competing at International level. There is also a very important social aspect too - you will get to meet and make a lot of new friends. The Air Cadet Organistation develops personal qualities and a sense of community and citizenship valued by employers, both military and civil.
