The Young Flyers Aviation Program is a 4-day immersive summer camp designed for young people aged 10-15 who are passionate about aviation. Established in 1990, the program offers an in-depth exploration of the world of flying, focusing on both theoretical knowledge and practical experience. Participants will engage in daily instructor-led flights, weather permitting, providing hands-on flight training. The curriculum covers essential aviation topics such as cross-country flying, communications, airspace regulations, navigation techniques, and understanding weather patterns. Beyond flight experience, campers may also have the opportunity to tour a control tower and participate in introductory ground school sessions. This program aims to provide a fun and exciting experience that fosters a deep understanding of aviation and inspires future pilots.
A typical day includes instructor-led flights (weather permitting), ground school sessions, and potentially a control tower tour.
This program is ideal for aviation-obsessed or curious 10-15 year olds interested in an in-depth introduction to flying and becoming a pilot.
