ASCEND
AVIATION SUMMER CAMP EXPLORING NEW DIMENSIONS
Experiencing the joy of flight can be one of the greatest experiences anyone can have.
The rich history of aviation has inspired generations. Whether you are interested in flying as a career, a hobby, or
just want to know more, our camp will provide a great experience.
ASCEND 2023 will take place June 19-24, 2023. The ASCEND summer camp is a week long
day camp that immerses our campers in all aspects of aviation for hobby or career. It doesn't matter if your interest
is in being a pilot, a avionics technician, an A&P mechanic or airport operations there is something here for you.
Our camp is based at the EAAgles Nest, the home hangar of EAA Chapter
1083. The EAAgles Nest is located at the Mid Carolina Regional Airport on North Carolina Highway 29, just off exit 71, Peeler
Road Exit of Interstate 85.
With the
generous support of many public as well as private donations, we have made this program a tremendous success. Many of our
past "campers" have already gone on to start in their aviation career and hobby activities. Some have received
their pilots licence for solo or full private pilot privileges while others have gone on to aviation universities such as
Embry Riddle and now been hired in many aerospace industries.
The camp is open to all teens between the ages of 13
and 17.
ASCEND offers a glimpse into what a career path could be like for you. If you dream of flying, or working in the
aviation industry, then fly the dream this summer!
