Space Academy Weeklong Program

Moonwalk in a 1/6th Gravity Chair and feel what it's like to work in a frictionless environment in the Manned Maneuvering Unit.  Build and launch a two stage rocket and learn teamwork and leadership at the leadership reaction course.  Space Academy incorporates real-world applications of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. Trainees prepare to become the next generation of lunar explorers, with hands-on activities that place them in the role of spacecraft designers and astronauts on the Moon.  Trainees face exciting challenges in the Space Station Mission Complex.  Technically-challenging anomalies task trainees to use knowledge and critical thinking skills to solve problems and save the mission!

Aviation Challenge-Mach IIFly head to head against other squadrons in high performance simulators in MACH II.  Learn teamwork, leadership and professionalism on our Leadership Reaction Course.  Middle school trainees are put through the paces of wilderness and water survival training where they learn shelter building and food procurement.  Trainees experience the force of 3 Gs in a one of a kind centrifuge trainer.  Along with teamwork, trainees learn about flight physiology, aeronautics, propulsion, history, aerodynamics and the fundamentals of flight.  This is a military style program that uses simulated, realistic combat scenarios.
