NASW will again host an Aviation Career Education (ACE) Academy July 8th – 12th, 2013 for students ages 12-17. (Ages 12 must have a recommendation by a current teacher) The Academy will give students an overview of the importance of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) skills while exploring real world careers in the aviation industry.

This is an excellent educational opportunity for our students.  Highlights for the week include: 

  • Travel Through Space presentation by NASA Astronaut Dr. Terry Hart
  • Tour FAA Air Traffic Control Tower and US Coast Guard Base
  • Tour and Demonstration by the Federal Air Marshal Training Center
  • Tour FAA Technical Center Labs
  • Scheduled “Fly-Ins” include:  US Navy, US Army, NJ State Police, AtlantiCare Medivac and US Coast Guard followed by career overviews.  Plus much more!

Feedback from parents of previous ACE Academy students:

“A wonderful experience and opportunity for a great future in aviation.”
“This was a wonderfully organized  and educationally challenging week.”
“The camp was run very professionally yet kid friendly.”
“It reinforced the importance of education in succeeding in life.”
“Fabulous camp, worth every penny.”
“It’s always more educational to have “hands-on” and this camp gave them that opportunity.”
“I particularly liked how the attendees were treated as young adults and not like just a group of children.”
“A fun, informative, exciting camp!”
