Welcome to Air Camp!

Air Camp is a week-long summer camp adventure in aviation and aeronautics for middle school students, which takes place at the birthplace of flight – Dayton, Ohio. At Air Camp, students will experience the rich and exciting aviation and educational resources in the Dayton region, from the place where the Wright Brothers invented flight to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. Home base for the week will be on the campus of the University of Dayton.

The purpose of Air Camp is to inspire students to new heights of scholarship, leadership and citizenship, as they experience the wonders of flight and study the science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) of aviation. It’s a week packed with fun, adventure, learning, and challenge.

Air Camp students will:

• train and fly as a copilot
• learn about aeronautics and design an aircraft
• fly a remotely piloted aircraft
• meet scientists at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base
• work in teams to plan a humanitarian rescue mission
