Silent Wings Aviation Camp is a great learning experience for kids ages 10-14 with interests in planes, science, and history. Campers will learn a variety of subjects including Aerodynamics and the Physics of Flight, World War II history, and modern applications of flight with hands-on activities like kite building, map making, home-made liter-bottle rockets, and more. It is part science, part history, and all fun!
Also being offered is Silent Wings Boot Camp, a unique opportunity for kids ages 10-14 to learn and experience what it’s like to be a soldier. Campers will engage in challenging exercises to learn the importance of self-discipline, teamwork, and critical thinking. Activities include but are not limited to: Drills and Physical training, tent building, basic First Aid, self-defense and more. Though tough in nature, this camp is a chance for your child to show what they’re made of and leave with a true feeling of accomplishment and success. This camp is designed in the style of a boot camp working with military personnel. It is both physically and mentally demanding and may not be for all kids.
