As a member of the Flight School Association of North America (FSANA), Cascade Aviation is proud to participate in the AeroCamp Program and make Aero Camp available to the kids in our community.<\/p>\n<p>Campers learn first-hand about the dynamics of airplanes and flight and about the broad spectrum of careers in the aviation and aerospace industry. We give every camper the opportunity to fly an aircraft if they choose to. However, flight time is only a fraction of the AeroCamp experience and is not required to have a great learning adventure.<\/p>\n<p>AeroCamp also includes site visits to various aviation-related organizations. AeroCamp runs for 4 days\u2014Monday through Thursday. Contact us for dates, times, and pricing.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, we offer two basic level AeroCamp experiences\u2014AC Basic. Teens will learn; What makes an airplane fly? Who flies airplanes, learn about airplane<br \/>\nflight controls and instruments, learn how to conduct a pre-flight inspection, basic information on radio communications. They will learn about airport traffic patterns and take field trips to various destinations at the airport. Learn about the basics of aeronautical charts and participate in Orientation flight time of up to an hour.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cascade Aviation<br \/>\nJuly 10-13, 2023, 10:00am-2:00pm<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Mon-Thurs Ages 13-17,<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Cost: $795<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Call 360 707-2838 to sign up or ask questions.
