The Aviation Expedition Camp is an exciting hands-on STE(A)M (Science-Technology-Engineering-Art-Math) experience for students who have an interest in the world of aviation. This camp is for novice aviation students ages 9-12. Because we offer lots of hands-on learning with a low teacher-to-student ratio, we limit the camp to just eight students.
Your budding aviator will learn simple piloting concepts and skills through intriguing activities and experiments, real-world aviation tools, and field trips. Students will exit the program with a keen sense of teamwork and basic aviator knowledge they can take to their next level of aviation training.
