YF Life Jr. Space Camp Program Blasts Off Again
Promoting the “It is Possible!” Spirit and Realizing Celestial Dreams

February 6, 2023

Solely sponsored and organized by YF Life Insurance International Ltd. (YF Life), the YF Life Jr. Space Camp Program (the Program) is now recruiting eight Jr. Astronauts to embark on a nine-day US space-exploration journey in the USA this summer. The Program has received staunch support from local and Macau university presidents and community celebrities and enjoyed tremendous acclaim from children and parents. Since its launch over 20 years ago, the Program has made the dreams of 150 Jr. Astronauts come true.

Founded in 1999, the YF Life Jr. Space Camp Program was the first-ever program to offer simulated astronaut training to children from Hong Kong and Macau. With its innovative and unique training methodology, the Program continues with its aim to stimulate children’s interest in space exploration and advanced technology, as well as encourage them to live the spirit of “It is Possible!” in overcoming challenges with a positive mindset. The three-round recruitment procedure will assess applicants’ creativity, space knowledge, physical fitness, presentation skills, and self-confidence, etc.

Mr. Victor Yip, Chief Executive Officer at YF Life, said, “We would like to once more extend our heartfelt gratitude for the staunch support shown for the YF Life Jr. Space Camp Program. As a socially responsible corporate citizen, YF Life strives to uphold its commitment to serve society, and we therefore endeavor to nurture the next generation through a meaningful program, offering all-round, innovative, and unique training to enhance children’s potential and encourage them to take on challenges and pursue their dreams with the spirit of ‘It is Possible!’”

The eight YF Life Jr. Astronauts, each with one participating parent, will fly to the USA this summer to undergo simulated astronaut training at the US Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama, as well as visit the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. They will have the opportunity to meet and talk with a real-life astronaut, and learn more about the life of real astronauts working in earth orbit.
