Aviation
(Ages 6 to 11)
Whether your child dreams about flying an aircraft or is simply fascinated by flight, this camp will engage and inspire.
They will learn about the history of aviation, from its early pioneers to its development through the ages – from myths and folklore to practical flying. They will be introduced to basic principles such as the importance of air and the four forces of flight. They will learn how different types of aircraft from balloons to space vehicles work, including exploring unique designs. The future of everyday aviation is covered too, with the role of greener aircraft in helping sustainability.
However, it isn’t all theory, as the practical (and fun) part comes with hand-held gliders, mini-drone flying and sessions on a flight simulator terminal – all under close supervision from a team of experienced pilots, educators and professional aviators. Each child will leave with an Aviation Kit which includes hand-launched glider, kite, parachute and even a mini-Drone!
"The Aviation camp was very unique... I didn't think my twins would be this into it, but they came home each day with A LOT to talk about and a new genuine interest in the subject. I'm hoping there will be more and more to come or a more advanced program for them to continue their interest in Aviation and Drones!"
