Are you interested in Drones?
Join our Summer Drone Exploration Camp! Camps are located in our Westmoreland and Fayette locations.
Westmoreland runs from July 24th-August 4th
Fayette runs from July 31st-August 4th. There are still spots available in Fayette!
This is our first year putting on the Summer Drone Exploration Camp but we have had many successful camps prior and are excited to introduce a new one! Camps are free for students and welcomes those ages 15-18 years old.
You will get to participate in fun field trips, get a free lunch each day, receive a camp t-shirt, and learn to fly. We look forward to teaching you all the basic pilot skills you will need to be a successful drone pilot.
We also have multiple fun activities planned such as a drone obstacle course. Not only do you get to learn about drones but if you come all five days you will receive a free drone and $125.
We will have guest speakers to show you all about how drones are used in various career fields such as film, emergency services, and much more! We are happy to provide speakers from the FAA, National Guard, CCA, and many more!
Come join us for a fun filled week! Please email slnicholson@privateindustrycouncil.com to apply for the Fayette camp today!
