A HIGH-FLYING SUMMER EXPERIENCE

Future Stars Drone Adventure Camp is an exciting STEAM program where campers explore the science and technology of flight through hands-on drone activities, from piloting and coding to obstacle course challenges.

Campers learn flight principles, navigation, and autonomous drone programming while testing their skills in challenges they help design. They also gain an understanding of aviation roles, including tower control, spotters, and mechanics, fostering teamwork, communication, and problem-solving.

Programs take place in collegiate classrooms and computer labs with all necessary equipment provided. Recreational games and swim balance each day, offering a fun mix of learning, adventure, and flight.
