Hartness State Airport in North Springfield will host an Aviation Career Education 2010 day camp from Aug. 16-20 for area boys and girls ages 12 to 15. The camp will provide an opportunity to learn more about aviation through a variety of experiences.
The ACE Camp is a hands-on aviation program that allows young people to explore the dynamics of a variety of aviation-related careers. Professional, military and civilian experts will introduce campers to the principles of flight, teamwork, pre-flight safety, building and launching model rockets, plotting navigation courses, flight simulators and much more. FAA certified pilots will brief participants on what’s involved with flight safety and also the features of different types of aircraft.
Young Eagle flights are coordinated and flown by pilots of the Experimental Aircraft Association and rides in other aircraft may be available as well.
This is the first time the ACE Camp has been held in this region. It will take place daily from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Camp tuition is $325 for the week, which includes transportation from the ACE site to camp activities, food and beverages, T-shirts, caps, cameras and more.
Girls and boys 12-15 years of age are welcome to apply. Please contact Walter Striedieck for a camp application or more information at (802) 460 - 3686 or by email: info@aeropics.com
