AeroCamp is a 5-day “day camp” held on July 16-20 at the CAU campus on Meadows International Airport. The aviation camp is designed to give young people a unique opportunity to explore the world of aviation and aerospace. Campers get to fly an airplane if they so choose. All proceeds from AeroCamp will go to Alpha Eta Ro, the University’s aviation fraternity, to support aviation awareness with the youth.
