Limited to 16 students

Students will explore aviation through hands-on flight training in R-MA aircraft and simulators, lessons with our experienced instructors, and interactive sessions with guest speakers. Weekly field trips deepen learning and expose students to a wide range of aviation career paths. Students receive high-quality instruction both in the air and on the ground while discovering the opportunities available in aerospace, commercial and private aviation, engineering, and related fields.

Aviation Summer Camp also includes dynamic drone training focused on unmanned flight. Students receive practical training in drone piloting, aerial photography, and advanced data collection used in mapping and 3D modeling. They also learn about the pathway toward earning the FAA Remote Pilot Certification. Testing for this certification must be completed separately at an FAA testing center.

In addition to technical skills, aviation students compete in drone obstacle courses, experience the thrill of drone racing, and work together on creative missions such as drone art and search-and-rescue challenges. Each day combines meaningful STEM learning with high-energy activities that build teamwork, problem-solving, and confidence.
