The camp uniquely combines hands-on aviation experiences, including actual flight time with female instructors, with mentorship from women in STEM to inspire the next generation of female pilots.
PreFlight Aviation Camp is a six-day program designed to empower girls aged 10-14 through aviation and STEM. Campers engage in hands-on activities that introduce them to the fundamentals of flight, including aerodynamics, aircraft components, weather, communication, navigation, and weight and balance. A significant highlight of the camp is the opportunity for participants to pilot a simulator and experience an actual private flight with a female instructor. The curriculum also includes building remote-controlled fixed-wing aircraft, learning about drone piloting, and taking field trips to aviation-related sites like the Air Force Academy or museums with historical planes. The camp aims to build self-esteem, foster critical thinking and strategic planning skills, and inspire girls to pursue careers in aviation and other STEM fields by connecting them with female aviator role models.
A typical day involves ground school lessons covering aviation principles, hands-on activities like building model planes or piloting drones, and interactions with female pilots and aviation professionals.
This camp is best for middle school girls aged 10-14 who are interested in aviation, STEM, and gaining confidence through challenging and inspiring experiences.
