Into The Air, Junior Birdmen!
Young people ages 10-18 can explore
the fascinating world of flight as the nation’s
longest-running aviation camp, the EAA Air Academy, presents its
2004 schedule of programs during summer 2004. The individual camps
range from three to nine days in length and take place at the EAA
Aviation Center and the beautiful Air Academy Lodge in Oshkosh,
Wisconsin.
The EAA Air Academy offers four programs; EAA Young Eagles Camp I
for 10 and 11-year-olds; EAA Young Eagles Camp II for ages 12-13;
EAA Basic Air Academy for ages 14-15; and Advanced Air Academy for
ages 16-18.
“Since 1984, the EAA Air Academy has hosted thousands of
young people from around the world, launching them on their own
voyages of self-discovery and aviation adventure,” said Chuck
Larsen, EAA’s executive director of residence education.
“Each participant will learn that the sky is not the
limit—it’s a beginning for aviation fun, adventure,
friendship and knowledge.”
The EAA Air Academy programs, which are accredited by the
American Camping Association (ACA), are staffed with instructors
with more than 180 years of combined experience at the Air Academy
and more than 225 combined years of teaching and counseling
background. The Air Academy’s mission is to provide a fun
aviation learning experience and develop bonds with other young
aviation enthusiasts.
This year’s EAA Air Academy
programs include:
EAA Young Eagles Camp I (June 12-16)
EAA Young Eagles Camp II (June 19-23 or June 25-29)
Designed as an introduction to the wonderful world of aviation,
these new programs will use small group activities and close
counselor relationships to present the basics of flight in a
“science camp” format that is a unique combination of
fun and discovery.
EAA Basic Air Academy (July 5-11 or July 12-18)
Basic Air Academy is the next exciting step through the world of
aviation. Each “hands-on” activity is developed for the
intermediate 14- and 15-year-old during classroom and media
presentations, specialized laboratory activities and
aviation-related demonstrations.
EAA Advanced Air Academy (July 20-29 or July 31-August 9)
EAA Advanced Air Academy provides an atmosphere for mature
students to become totally immersed in the world of flight. Ground
instruction and introductory recreation flight experiences
highlight this meaningful, action-packed camp. It combines
“in-the-air” and “on-the-ground”
activities.
