FIRST FLYERS [Ages 6-8]
June 2-6 or June 16-20 or July 21-25
From Wright Brothers to Outer Space, little learners become junior aviators in training while learning about planes, weather, space, and more! Your tiny aviator will be able to recite the forces of flight, explain STEM concepts while doing hands-on experiments, and share the history of flight through fun scavenger hunts and crafts!
JUNIOR METEOROLOGIST [Ages 6-8]
June 9-13 or July 7-11
If you think learning about weather is cooler than cool and hotter than hot, then this camp is for you! Learn about rain cycles, different weather conditions, and what pilots need to know for a safe flight. Test your weather wisdom as you fly in different weather conditions.
NEW! GIRLS TAKE FLIGHT [ages 7-9]
June 2-6
This girl-centric camp is STEMtastic! Learn the fundamentals of flight and the science that makes aircraft fly in multiple dimensions. Use your math skis to plot your flight path and navigate across the skies. Be inspired by the legendary women who flew first into the air and space to blaze trails for girls today. Explore, play, activate, and experiment with other girls who love aviation!
AERO DERBY DASH [Ages 7-9]
June 23-27 or July 28-August 1
This challenge will test your skills and nerves! Each race segment puts you into the world of the most demanding places people fly. Can you make it through the Grand Canyon, as a bush pilot in the tundra, through remote mountains, or land on an aircraft carrier? Learn about the geography, weather, and other conditions that make each location so risky as you race around the world.
CRAFTY AIRCRAFTER [Ages 7-9]
June 16-20 or July 14-18
Become a hot air balloon, glider and rocket builder! Every day will have a Maker challenge as you create working model aircraft to take home. Explore things that look like they should not fly but do. Invent your own flying contraption using your creativity and ingenuity. Inventors study science to create their machines, and you will learn the science that makes each aircraft work and how your models follow the same rules of flight.
PILOT MAKER: PRIMARY TRAINING [AGES 7-9]
June 9-13 or July 7-11
Do you want to take to the skies one day? Learn the steps to become a pilot accepted into Ground School with a strong understanding of airplanes. You’ll learn the basics of flight and aircraft mechanics so you will be ready for the next step, Basic Training (Ages 10-12).
NEW! AeroGirls [ages 10-12]
July 7-11
Do you have your head in the clouds? That’s STEMtastic! Girls can fly, build, or maintain any plane just like anyone. You will embrace the fundamentals of flight and be introduced to female professionals across aviation careers. Be empowered to pursue aviation by building confidence in STEM skills with fun aviation challenges such as making a drone. How far will your future fly?
NEW! ACES & LEGENDS: The First 50 Years [ages 10-12]
June 23-27
From the dawn of flight to the battles of the skies, the race was on for superior engineering designs for bigger and faster aircraft. Take a close look at the planes and people that made history during the first 50 years of flight. Examine different aircraft up close, including WWII Warbirds – observers, trainers, dive bombers, fighters, and heavy bombers –to see how differences in technology meant success or failure. Be inspired by leaders, entrepreneurs, trailblazers, and military aviators who broke barriers and became aviation legends.
NEW! ACES & LEGENDS: Beyond the First 50 Years [AGES 10-12]
July 28-August 1
After World War II, the Space Race, Cold War, and growth of commercial aviation all became possible because of the aviation pioneers who came before. Take a close look at the planes and people that made history beyond the first 50 years of flight. Examine different aircraft and aerospace vehicles up close–to see how differences in technology meant success or failure. Be inspired by leaders, entrepreneurs, trailblazers, and military aviators who broke barriers and became aviation legends.
Go Zero G [AGES 10-12]
June 9-13 or July 21-25
Cross the thin line from air to space. The Space Shuttle is a rocket on the way to Outer Space, a satellite in orbit, and an aircraft upon landing. See how astronauts lived in the shuttle cabin with a look at NASA’s crew cabin trainer, inspect the flight simulator that trained all the shuttle pilots, and learn how to fly from outer space to a thin runway.
PILOT MAKER: BASIC TRAINING [AGES 10-12]
June 2-6 or June 16-20 or July 14-18
Recommended Prerequisite – Pilot Maker: Primary Training
Follow flight school training as you learn the science that a pilot needs to know, how physics is used to control the aircraft, and the mechanics inside the planes. Practice simulator flying on the flight trainers using your new navigating and piloting skills as you progress through flight plans. Complete Basic Training to be eligible for Pilot Maker: Advanced Training (Ages 13-15).
PILOT MAKER: ADVANCED TRAINING [AGES 13-15]
June 23-27 or July 21-25
Recommended Prerequisite – Pilot Maker: Basic Training
After completing Pilot Maker: Basic Training, continue your training to a greater skill set including flying in more real-world situations. You’ve learned how to navigate a flight path, but can you calculate the trip and land with a 30-mph crosswind, at night, with a 1000 ft. cloud ceiling? In this next level training, test your piloting skills of maintaining altitude, controlled turns, and instrument flight while dealing with weather conditions, convection currents, and mechanical failures. Once you complete the training, you will be Ready for Flight!
PILOT MAKER: READY FOR FLIGHT [AGES 13-15]
July 14-18
Recommended Prerequisite – Pilot Maker: Advanced Training
After completing Basic and Advanced Training, become Ready for Flight! Test your pilot skills in the simulators battling different conditions in multiple types of planes. If your friends went flying how much luggage is safe? What would you do if the weather went bad while in the air? What if your engine stalled? Once your pilot skills are mastered, learn about different career paths for pilots so you can decide your flight path and be ready for flight!
