The Utah National Guard and the Honorary Colonels Corps has sponsored Freedom Academy since 1961. Freedom Academy promotes the ideals and principles of The United States of America, a sense of patriotism, and motivation to actively participate in preserving our freedom. Students are exposed to prominent Utah government, business, and military leaders receiving hands-on experience with them, and the tools of their trades. The program presents a balanced curriculum designed to serve the academic, social, and recreational needs of each delegate. Students will return to their schools with a renewed sense of patriotism and appreciation for all our nation's freedoms.

Freedom is never more than one generation away from
extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the
bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected and handed
on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our
sunset years telling our children and our children’s children
what it was once like in the United States where men (and
women) were free."

-Ronald Reagan
