We recently hosted Aviation Camp this summer for students who will be entering grades four through twelve this fall. Classes were held July 10 and 11 at the Melbourne Municipal Airport.

Students interested in the world of aviation filled the camp ready to soar. There were multiple sessions during the day including the history of aviation, how to fly a plane, weather lessons, airport tours, and live simulations. A discovery flight was also provided in which students flew over the Ozarka College Melbourne campus. Students took home several keepsakes such as, aviation ID badge, flash drive, sunglasses, motor skills fun ball, aviation decal, and a t-shirt.

"I am delighted the camp was a full house this year with many young aviation enthusiasts ready to learn, " said Clinton Jackson, Ozarka College Aviation Director. "We look forward to this being an annual event in the summer for many years to come. "
