EAA Chapter 186

Thanks to the efforts of new member and professional photographer, Andrew Shippin, our Chapter’s Facebook page is really taking off! On our Facebook page you can connect with the chapter and receive event updates in your Facebook news feed. The page (unlike the website, blast or newsletter) allows everyone to discuss aviation events, view or post photos, and share related content. Our goal is to make it the #1 EAA Chapter Facebook page and we’re well on the way!

Basic Camp

The EAA Basic Air Academy is the next exciting step through the world of aviation. Each “hands-on” activity is developed for the intermediate 14 and 15 year olds during a classroom and media presentation, specialized laboratory activities and aviation-related demonstrations.

Advanced Camp

The EAA Advanced Air Academy provides an atmosphere for mature students to become totally immersed in the world of flight. Ground instruction and introductory recreation flight experiences highlight this meaningful, action-packed camp. It combines “in-the-air” and “on-the-ground” hands-on activities. The EAA Advanced Air Academy also includes full participation (access to forums, flight-line and all associated activities) in EAA AirVenture Oshkosh – the world’s premier aviation event!

Applicants

Any Young Eagle participant that expressed interest in attending the Air Academy during the summer of 2014 or learning more about aviation should be encouraged to apply for the scholarship.
Selection

Two Young Eagles – one for students ages 14-15 and the other for those 16-18 – will be selected.

Dates of Event

The Basic camp (ages 14-15) will be held July 14-19 and the Advanced camp (ages 16-18) takes place July 22-30.
