THANK YOU FOR AN INCREDIBLE AIR CAMP SEASON!
2025 was our biggest and most exciting year yet, and we are gearing up for an even more high-flying 2026!
We are excited to host three unique STEM DAY CAMPS in early 2026, each CAMP providing middle and high school students weekend hands-on experiential learning at aviation and technology locations in the area – outside of the classroom and in the real world, taught by industry experts.
We are proud to collaborate with innovative partners, and continue offering these for only $99!
