Registration began in September for 2025 EAA Air Academy which is a series of camps designed to introduce young people ages 14-18 to the aviation world. Kids stay at the EAA Air Academy Lodge in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Experienced aviation instructors help them delve into flight through studies, hands-on demonstrations, flight simulation, and other exciting activities. Campers will receive a ride in a Cessna Skycatcher or Skyhawk or a helicopter, weather permitting. Most of the sessions are already full and only accepting waitlist registrations but EAA Chapter 186 has reserved three spots for kids that would like to attend. We will pay $500 of your child’s tuition. The child’s family will be responsible for transportation and from the lodge. Find additional information on course content, lodge accommodations and registration here.
