EAA Air Academy: Ultimate Aviation Immersion Camp
This year, EAA celebrates the 35th anniversary of its Air Academy program, a one-of-a-kind experience of fun and discovery all centered on aviation.
The EAA Air Academy, a series of weeklong camps designed to introduce young people ages 12-18 to the aviation world. Campers are engaged through a variety of hands-on activities while staying at the EAA Air Academy Lodge in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Experienced aviation instructors help them delve into flight through studies, hands-on demonstrations, flight simulation, and other exciting activities. Participants gain skills to apply to in everyday life and discover the unlimited opportunities a career in aviation presents.
Recognized by MSN Money as one of 10 summer camps “worth the money,” Air Academy provides the foundation for a lifelong love of aviation.
The EAA Air Academy has inspired thousands of youth over the previous three and half decades, and here is one story of an attendee who pictured herself in a new role as an A&P mechanic: https://inspire.eaa.org/2018/05/02/ap-mechanic-inspired-at-eaa-air-academy/
