University of Georgia’s Summer Aviation Academy Camp is a co-ed, week-long, on-campus (either day or residential for those who prefer to stay in dorms overnight) summer camp dedicated to illuminating the science and physics of flight for its participants! Students don’t need any specific prerequisites or prior knowledge or experience, as this summer course camp is designed to accommodate beginners, as well as those with a bit of prior exposure to physics and flight.

A few ways students will learn hands-on in an immersive environment:

Ground school lessons
Practice flying using computerized flight simulation software under the guidance of real pilots
Develop flight plans
Practice conducting pre-flight inspections
Explore the many careers in aviation
Take a trip to the local airport, so students can see how it operates and view some small aircrafts up close
Post-camp, students are invited to a private EAA Young Eagles event in Athens, where they can fly in a small airplane with a licensed pilot!
