Content Designed For Campers 11-17 Years Old
The Aerospace Center for Excellence, Inc has announced that it will host its Destination Aviation Summer Camp for participants online for the summer of 2020. The ACE Team will be delivering content designed for campers 11-17 years old covering aviation lessons, field trips, and interviews with aerospace professionals. It is scheduled to begin June 15th, and take up six weeks.
Destination Aviation Virtual Summer Camp is FREE for all to participate with the online lessons, virtual field trips and interviews with aviation professionals. Those interested in a more robust experience can order a Summer Camp Kit.
The Destination Aviation Virtual Summer Camp schedule will deliver content three mornings a week via the Aerospace Center for Excellence Facebook page. Mondays will cover Virtual Aviation Lessons such as Fundamentals of Flight, Flight Operations, and Aviation Weather. Wednesdays will take campers on virtual field trips to destinations such the Lakeland Linder International Airport's Air Traffic Control Tower and NOAA's Aircraft Operation Center. Interviews with aviation professionals will be a Friday highlight for campers including Caroline Dougherty, Crew Chief for Dougherty Airshows, Captain Aaron Rajanen of Delta Air Lines, and Commander Rebecca Waddington, pilot with NOAA Corps.
"Our objective is to deliver an experience in keeping with the great reputation of our Destination Aviation Summer Camp to as many campers as possible. We want participants to be energized about Aviation and our camp for 11-17 year-olds immerses them through various components of preparing for an actual flight. What is exciting this year is that any young person from anywhere can benefit from this camp." says Kimberly Brewer, Director of Education of ACE. "Bringing the camp in its entirety online is a challenge but in actuality, we can have even more campers participate than would have been able to participate here to Lakeland, FL".
Destination Aviation Virtual Summer Camp runs June 15th through July 31st. Registration for those interested in the Summer Camp Kit is encouraged by June 1st.
