WARBIRDS AVIATION SUMMER CAMP
The Military Aviation Museum is excited to hold its annual Warbirds Aviation Summer Camp. This year’s camp, for both boys and girls, will feature five separate groups based on your child’s school grade. During these fun-filled weeks, children will spend time at the Military Aviation Museum, among one of the largest private collections of flying vintage and reproduction aircraft in the world. They will have the thrill of getting up close to World War I and World War II-era fighters, bombers, trainers, and seaplanes, while they learn everything about them and aviation in general.
