Aerospace Academy Camp
Explore the history, science, and technology of flight at the New England Air Museum.
Aerospace Academy Camp is a state licensed day camp held at the New England Air Museum for children ages 9-12. Campers participate in a range of hands-on activities focusing on aviation science and history, aircraft restoration, flight simulators, drones, and much more! Campers meet retired aerospace engineers and pilots, enjoy behind-the-scenes access to the New England Air Museum and its collections, and end the week with special full day field trips to Central Connecticut State University on Thursday and the Hartford Jet Center at Hartford-Brainard Airport on Friday. Each Aerospace Academy Camp session is from 9:00am-3:00pm, Monday-Friday, with all six sessions offering the same exciting schedule and activities.
