The Aviation Expedition is NOT your average summer camp!

Our camp offers students 9 – 12 years old an exciting, hands-on, STE(A)M (Science-Technology-Engineering-Art-Math) aviation experience.

We partner with an aviation club at Centennial Airport that is at the forefront of training our 21st century pilots.

Your budding aviator will enjoy a full immersion, real-world aviation experience! They will walk away with the understanding of basic piloting concepts and skills through intriguing activities and experiments, state-of-the-art aviation tools, and field trips. Students will exit the program with a basic aviator knowledge they can take to their next level of aviation training.

Because we offer lots of hands-on learning with a low teacher-to-student ratio, we limit the camp to just eight students.  Give your student the experience of a lifetime and sign up today!
