AEROCAMP
AeroCamp is a program designed to give young people a unique opportunity to explore the world of aviation and aerospace. As a member of the Flight School Association of North America, our flight school is proud to host AeroCamp for the kids in our Long Island community.
Campers have the opportunity to learn first hand about the dynamics of airplanes and flight along with the broad spectrum of careers in the aerospace industry. Campers get to fly an airplane if they so choose. There is a strong education component that all campers receive. There are field trips to explore various elements that together form the aerospace industry.
Aero Camp is for grades 7-12 (must be completed with 6th grade) and each camper will receive a simulator and a flight lesson. View our photo album to see the many types of activities that may be available during each of the camps. Activities, tours, and field trips will vary for each camp depending on weather and availability of tours.
Our Aero Camp satisfies the requirements for the Boy Scout Aviation Merit Badge.
For those scouts who have a desire to pursue this special merit badge, our camp is for you.
Included with the registration fee, students will receive a logbook, First Flight Certificate, Aero Camp Tee Shirt, a Six month subscription to AOPA’s Flight Training Magazine, an Aero Camp Graduation Certificate and a $50.00 gift certificate off a future Introductory Flight Lesson. Snacks and water will be provided daily as well as a pizza lunch on Graduation Day. Campers are asked to bring a water bottle and their own lunch (in externally marked insulated bags) on the remaining days.
Camp runs Mon-Fri, 8:45am-3pm. Covid cleaning and safety procedures will be followed.
We will be offering two Aero Camps this summer for students going into grades 7-12. Due to rising costs and industry-related delays, all campers will receive a flight voucher to be used outside of camp.
Students in the first camp will be able to use their flight voucher after camp has conceded through July 31st. As the second camp will be able to use their flight voucher after camp has conceded through August 31st. While we understand some campers travel from distances that are not local to Long Island, we can do our best to accommodate some flight vouchers to be used after a camp day ends. Vouchers will be mailed about a month prior to their perspective camp week.
Camp REGISTRATION opens February 1st. The applications can be sent via mail or e-mail. All camp spaces will be reserved on a first come, first serve basis and camp space is limited to 12 cadets per week (please call prior to sending applications to confirm camp availability). Spaces are not confirmed until payment is received.
