Future Aviators Summer Camp

The Future Aviators Summer Camp provides young enthusiasts aged 7 to 15 with an immersive aviation experience through a week-long day camp at New Garden Flying Field. During this camp, children dive into practical aspects of aviation including crafting airplanes from traditional materials, experimenting with aeromodeling via balsa glider and remote-controlled airplane construction, and launching model rockets. Campers benefit from ground school courses covering essential pre-flight and navigation skills and enjoy the unique opportunity to fly with a Certified Flight Instructor, recording their flight achievements. An educational highlight is the excursion to the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center museum in Chantilly, VA. This enriching program is designed to captivate young aviators by combining fieldwork, instructional lessons, and exciting tours to broaden their aerospace understanding in a stimulating day camp setting.
