We had a Blast!
We had a Blast!
Drone Camp was a soaring success! Our Drone Flight School brought together curious, creative, and tech-savvy youth for a hands-on experience that blended fun with real-world skills. Over the course of the camp, students learned to safely pilot drones, complete flight challenges, and explore career pathways in this fast-growing industry. More than just flight time, the camp sparked confidence, teamwork, and innovation—proving that when you give young minds access to the right tools and support, they take off. We’re proud to be building the next generation of drone pilots and problem-solvers.
