Aerocamp

Exploring Aviation and Aerospace

AeroCamp is designed to give young people, ages 14 through 18, a unique opportunity to explore the vast and exciting world of aviation and aerospace at their local airport. As a member of the Flight School of North America, Illinois Aviation Academy, Inc. is proud to participate in the AeroCamp program and make AeroCamp available to the kids in our community.

Camp Participants learn firsthand about the dynamics of airplanes, flight, and about the broad spectrum of the many career opportunities in aviation and the aerospace industry. We give every participant the opportunity to fly an aircraft if they choose to. Flight time is only a fraction of the AeroCamp experience and is not required to have a great learning adventure. AeroCamp also includes site visits to various aviation related organizations, Hands on lab activities, daily ground school lessons and so much more. Sign up today to receive a information packet about AeroCamp or to enroll a AeroCamp participant.
