A one-of-a-kind experience in a one-of-a-kind year,
AIR CAMP’S 2021 PROGRAMS INCLUDE:
Special Message to 2020 Applicants or Registrants: If you submitted an application or registered to attend an Air Camp event in 2020 we have appreciated your interest in our programs. However, we are unable to use the data from last year in consideration to attend one of our events in 2021, therefore a new application will be required. Each of our programs are part of a new schedule this year which are reflected specifically in our online application and/or registration process. Thank you for your understanding.
Students Entering Grades 4-6:
We will continue to offer exciting opportunities for students at the intermediate level to explore the history and evolution of aviation as they experience the principles that made it possible for controlled flight to be achieved. Such programs are scheduled to include events lasting 2 days at key STEM locations throughout the Dayton Region.
Day Camp (2 days): 6/14 - 6/15, 6/17 - 6/18, 6/21 - 6/22, and 6/24 - 6/25
Students Entering Grades 7-9:
The plans for our flagship Overnight Middle School Camps have been slightly amended to exclude the traditional overnight component of our program for this year. We plan to offer events spanning 5 days for participants to investigate and apply the physics of flight while engaged in immersive learning modules at a variety of remarkable STEM locations related to the key components of aviation and aeronautics.
Day Camp (5 days): 6/21 - 6/25 or 6/28 - 7/2
Students Entering Grades 10-12:
It is such a pleasure to announce our plans to implement a brand new division of our programming! We will host high school students for the first time this year during events lasting 1 and 2 days in length. This program has been created for participants to more critically explore the most accessible, sustainable, and lucrative STEM education and career opportunities available in Ohio and across the nation. The curriculum of this program emphasizes both what they entail but also important details to develop achievable goals to successfully prepare for and succeed within any of which they choose to pursue.
Day Camp (2 days): 6/29 - 6/30, 7/1 - 7/2, or 7/12 - 7/13
Teachers Air Camp Grades K-12:
We are proud to embark upon our fifth year of offering creative and meaningful professional development experiences for teachers across the country. It continues to be a pleasure to share paramount components of our student programs so that they can bring them into their classrooms for an exponential amount of young learners throughout the rest of their careers. This program is designed for teachers to experience some of our learning modules that are exciting for students and applicable to related STEM initiatives already taking place within their classrooms. We plan to offer events from 3-4 days in length this summer. As in years past, an application must be completed and successfully submitted to be considered for selection to attend this one of a kind program.
National Teachers Air Camp (4 days): 6/17 - 6/20 or 7/14 - 7/17
Adult Aviation Adventure Ages 18 and up:
There is most likely no other question we receive more than that of when we will offer programs designed for adults in the general public. We believe this might just be the year that we can finally meet those requests by offering our first ever Adult Aviation Adventure! You will engage with experts in the field of aviation and aeronautics and develop a uniquely in depth understanding of the basic principles and practices for flight to be successfully achieved. You will also apply those ideas as you experience the thrill of being the pilot of an aircraft with the support of an FAA certified instructor right beside you the entire experience. This venturesome program is one that our undoubtedly elated participants will never forget!
