What You Will Experience at Drone Flight School

This is not your traditional summer camp experience— participants will learn real-world STEM applications, explore the business and industry of drones, and master technology unavailable to most youth today. Interested participants will become proficient in technical skills such as racing drones, but most importantly, these youth will have an incredible opportunity to learn and grow in a community of fellow adventurers. Our Camp Counselors are trained to mentor participants and create a collaborative environment designed to build strong relationships, encourage independence, and allow each camper to share unique gifts and talents in an outdoor classroom.
