The Silent Wings Museum announces Aviation Boot Camp July 23 – 27 and July 30 – August 3, 2018. This is a great learning experience for kids ages 10-14 with interests in planes, science, history, and the military. Campers will have the opportunity to learn a variety of subjects including:

  • Training with real Marines
  • Aerodynamics
  • The Physics of Flight
  • World War II History
  • Modern applications of flight with hands-on activities such as map-making, home-made liter-bottle rockets and more.

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 physically and mentally demanding, this camp is a chance for your child to show what they’re made of. They will leave with a true feeling of accomplishment and success. This camp is designed in the style of a boot camp working with military personnel with a graduation at the end of the week.
