Stanzel Co-Pilot Academy Takes Young Aviators to New Heights This Summer

Claim your young aviator’s ticket to sky high fun and learning for the Stanzel Co-Pilot Academy this summer, a hands-on aviation program designed for children aged 5 and older.

Hosted by the Stanzel Model Aircraft Museum. The summer program will take place every Friday in July from 11 a.m. - 12 noon inside the museum’s historic original factory building.

Children participating in the academy will experience the excitement of aviation through interactive learning stations and outdoor activities. Young pilots will learn how to operate and fly the museum’s Flight Simulator and log their flight times while exploring the science behind flight and motion.

The program also features aviation-themed arts and crafts which promote STEAM learning. Newton’s laws of motion will be observed and practiced on the Stanzel Airfield using stomp rockets and balsa wood gliders, dragon fly spinners, and foam gliders!

Museum director, Cynthia Fogleman said “The Stanzel Co-Pilot Academy is designed to inspire curiosity, and creativity in children while introducing them to the fundamentals of aviation and aerodynamics.”

Space for the program is limited, and parents are encouraged to reserve spots early.
