Destination Aviation Day Camp is an age appropriate curriculum that varies from year to year. As campers mature, their tasks become more complex and challenging. Campers learn about the parts of an airplane, aerodynamics, basic navigation, weather, pre-flighting and flying aircraft. Visits to the restoration center prep campers for fabricating their own wing ribs. Flight simulators are used to practice skills and reinforce learning before they are given an opportunity to fly an airplane with a Flight Safety International flight instructor. Destination Aviation Residential Camps run concurrently with the day camps. Residential campers stay in the Tom Davis Education center dorm rooms from Sunday afternoon through Friday afternoon while day campers go home. In addition to the day camp program, they receive meals and snacks. Evening programming includes movies in the media room and additional flight simulator time to enhance the camping experience. Campers live in an air conditioned dorm room with other campers under 24 hour supervision. Campers need to bring their own pillow, sleeping bag and enough light clothing for the 6 days. Pick up from Tampa International and special diets can be accommodated.
