LIFT Camps are designed to introduce students to the world of aviation and then provide them with the resources and connections needed to pursue an aviation career after high school. To do this, we give students both ground and flight instruction, and we bring in different professionals in avaiton to come speak with the students and answer any questions they might have.

We provide students with a brief ground lesson on the basics of flight and an aircraft walk-around to show them the different parts of the planes. After that, students complete their first flight lesson with a certified flight instructor. Finally, we have representatives from various parts of the aviation field explain their jobs in aviation and possible career paths after high school!
