Camp Flight offers a curated array of experiential opportunities designed to introduce young people to multiple disciplines, industries, and ways of thinking, fostering curiosity and connection between present interests and future possibilities.
Camp Flight by LOTUS Chicago offers a dynamic summer experience where youth engage in a 'flight' of activities across various disciplines. Campers participate in hands-on STEAM labs, building and experimenting to connect learning with real-world applications. The program includes a Drone Lab where students learn to build and pilot drones, developing engineering and flight skills while exploring their use in industries like filmmaking and agriculture. Through flight simulation, participants learn aviation science concepts such as lift, drag, pitch, navigation, and teamwork, utilizing Avion Institute's curriculum. Beyond aviation, the camp incorporates culinary and gardening activities, teaching campers to grow and prepare food. Other modules may include robotics, e-gaming, financial empowerment focusing on entrepreneurship, science fair projects, team rowing, sailing, golf, filmmaking, and art. The camp emphasizes critical thinking, problem-solving, collaboration, and self-confidence, aiming to expose students to diverse pathways and help them connect their present interests to future possibilities.
Each day runs from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and includes a variety of activities such as STEAM labs, drone piloting, flight simulation, culinary arts, gardening, and other weekly modules, with a thoughtfully planned field trip extending learning beyond the classroom each week.
The ideal student is one who is curious, eager to explore a variety of subjects, and benefits from hands-on, experiential learning in a supportive and inclusive environment.
