We are pleased to announce that enrollment of our Summer Youth Aviation Camp 2023 is now open! This is a specially designed camp for kids going into grades 6 through 10 with a real interest in AVIATION!
The summer camp, open to new campers only, will be held at the Geauga County Airport in Hangar 3 on July 10th through 14th from 9:00 am to 3:45 pm.
Students will actively participate in learning about aerodynamics, parts of a plane, flight operations, careers in aviation; will develop skills in map reading, riveting, woodworking & building; and will be given opportunities to tour the airport facilities and to “fly” on flight simulators. There will be daily activities such as glider flying contests & scientific experimentation, as well as recreational fun activities.
Attendance is important, to get the most benefit of all the camp has to offer. We have a lot packed into one week and we think you will enjoy all we have planned. Campers are expected to attend all 5 days of the camp. You do not want to miss a single minute of the fun! After the camp, there will be a private Young Eagles Event for the campers on either July 15 or 16 (depending on the weather).
Space for the camp is limited to 18 students to allow for more hands-on opportunities. Registration forms and $150 fee are due by Thursday, May 25th, 2023. Scholarships available. A T-shirt, hat and supplies are included; participants should bring their own lunch though snacks will be provided.
