Youth Soaring Camps at SSA

SSA offers Youth Soaring Camps as an overnight summer camp experience for young people between the ages of 13 and 18. This is part of their broader aviation education initiative aimed at fostering youth interest and skills in flying and gliding activities. The camps take place at SSA’s picturesque airport site, providing a unique setting for participants to learn and engage with aviation experts and peers. The program benefits from funding through an affiliated non-profit, Flight Experience For Youth, which helps maintain the quality and affordability of the camp experience. Additional programs include the Line Crew Program, where qualified teens can assist in flight operations and earn flight credits, as well as day camps in collaboration with Vermont Technical College and Vermont Flight Academy.
