The ACE Academy takes pride in presenting aviation resources and tools for the students not only during the camp period but throughout the year. We show students that they can have a career in the aviation industry.
Students will learn about the theory of flight, aviation’s history, aircraft maintenance and new technologies. Attendees will study real world aviation applications, aviation principles such as thrust and vectoring, and aircraft construction. They also will have the opportunity to fly radio-controlled aircraft and work on aircraft model design projects, as well as take field trips to aviation industry businesses and have the opportunity to fly in an airplane
At Jim Shaw ACE Academy - students get to learn about airplanes, racer drones, hot air balloons, financial literacy, and so much more! In 2022, we hosted 40+ middle and high schoolers being immersed in aviation, exploring new places, making new friends, and trying new things. To all of our campers you showed up every morning with a zest for life and you are the reason we do what we do – thank you! These kids were engaged, witty, and we learned a lot from them as well. To our camp parents who trusted, supported, and encouraged us along the way – thank you! We absolutely could not do this without you. We are so grateful that you shared your greatest treasures with us this summer.
We are looking forward to our 2023 sessions! Stay tuned for more information on interest meetings, community events, and more!
