Flight

Ready for takeoff? Flight is an exciting, hands-on camp where young aviators explore the principles of flight, from the basics of aerodynamics to the science behind rockets and drones. Through creative experiments and real-world challenges, campers will design, build, and test everything from paper airplanes and balsa wood gliders to balloon rockets. This camp is perfect for curious minds who love to tinker, experiment, and discover how things fly!

What to Expect:

Each day is packed with interactive lessons, engineering challenges, and flight experiments:

• Day 1 (Introduction to Flight & Paper Plane Experiments): Learn the science behind flight, explore the forces of lift, drag, thrust, and weight, and test different paper airplane designs to see how structure impacts flight distance.
• Day 2 (Airfoils, Cambers & Drone Basics): Build and experiment with airfoil designs to understand how wing shape affects flight, and explore the mechanics behind drone technology.
• Day 3 (Balsa Wood Gliders): Design, build, and fly your own balsa wood glider, then test your engineering skills to see whose glider flies the farthest!
• Day 4 (Flight in Nature & Human Flight Challenges): Investigate how birds, bats, and insects achieve flight, then attempt to create your own wearable wings in a fun, hands-on experiment.
• Day 5 (Rocket Science & Launch Day): Explore the power of propulsion with balloon rockets and water bottle rocket launches—end the week with an epic flight competition!

Why Choose Our Camp:

• Hands-On Engineering: Campers actively build and test their own flying creations.
