Optional Meals

A limited number of meals will be available for purchase for an additional cost during registration, available to community participants and visiting faculty.

The meal options and pricing will be available starting November and can be selected and confirmed until Feb. 5, 2027.

We cannot accommodate new meal requests past this deadline. If you need to cancel your meal registration, you can do so via your email confirmation (edit your registration), or by emailing us at ncls@afacademy.af.edu with your request before Feb. 5, 2027 5 p.m. MST.
