During the summer months, Young Marines have the opportunity to apply to attend the Young Marines National Summer Programs of: Adventures, Challenges, Encampments, and Schools (SPACES).

Schools consist of leadership courses. Adventures, have a historical emphasis and are designed with the younger child in mind. In contrast, older Young Marines can participate in Challenges. Challenges consist of training in areas such as survival skills, wilderness training, and water-based activities.

Over 3,000 Young Marines participate in the SPACES programs each year.

Each program has a set of application requirements, but one thing is common among all S.P.A.C.E.S. programs, the applicants must have graduated from Young Marines "boot camp" with a minimum of one year in the program.

General Requirements for most programs start at PFC, passing PFT and must be 12 years or older.
