The camp offers a unique opportunity for students to experience a real discovery flight with a certified instructor at a working airport.
The Aviation Summer Camp at Valley Flight School offers middle and high school students an immersive one-week program focused on aviation. Participants will engage in FAA ground school, gaining foundational knowledge essential for pilots. The camp also includes hands-on flight simulation, allowing students to experience the controls and procedures of an aircraft in a realistic environment. A highlight of the program is a real discovery flight with a certified flight instructor at Van Nuys Airport, providing practical flight experience. Students will learn about aircraft operation, aviation safety, and the principles of flight, fostering an understanding of STEM concepts in a practical setting.
A typical day involves a combination of FAA ground school instruction, practical flight simulation exercises, and potentially preparation for or participation in a discovery flight.
This camp is ideal for middle and high school students in grades 6-12 who are interested in STEM fields and aspire to learn about aviation and potentially pursue a pilot's license.
