Museum slates Eagle Aviation Camp

By Janice Wood · March 14, 2012 ·

The American Airlines C.R. Smith Museum will host its Eagle Aviation Camp, a one-week camp in June that will explore and experiment with the driving force of flight – thrust – as well as takes the campers behind the scenes at one of the world’s largest airlines.

Children taking part in the 2012 Eagle Aviation Camp will tour seldom-seen aviation facilities as well as take part in a variety of fun, educational activities to demonstrate the physics of propulsion, museum officials said.

The Eagle Aviation Camp launches in June for students in grade 5 through 9:

  • June 11-15 – for students entering grades 5, 6 and 7
  • June 18-22 – for students entering grades 6, 7 and 8
  • June 25-29 – for students entering grades 7, 8 and 9

A week at the Eagle Aviation Camp is priced at $250 per student for C.R. Smith Museum member families and $300 for non-members. However, those who register by April 1 will save $50 with an Early Bird Discount. Register by May 1 to qualify for a $25 Advance Discount. For more information, or to sign up, go to CRSmithMuseum.org
