The Texada Aerospace Camp runs from July 22–25 and is designed for children ages 10–15. For the first time since the camp's inception in 2009, organizers are also aiming to run a second session for an additional group of youth from July 15–18.

Here are just some of the cool things campers will learn about during the four days:

  • Principles of flight and aircraft construction
  • Detailed flight simulator instruction aboard the famous Airbuzz II simulator, built into a section of a real plane fuselage
  • Parachute basics and astrophysics
  • Metal working, electronics and soldering
  • Get hands-on learning how to make aviation models and rockets, and learn all about aircraft engines and how they work
  • Familiarization flights in real aircraft, often in the co-pilot seat
  • Introductory tool use, wing and fuselage fabrication technology
  • Aerospace careers exploration
