The 3-day Kona Aviation Camp—which has been postponed due to TS Hone—is about equipping young people to succeed in the things that matter. Through a hands-on flight lesson in either a small plane or helicopter, and wicked cool tours that include the Control Tower and Airport Rescue and Fire Fighting station, we’ll help our local youth to live a better story.

 

UPDATE: (as of  08/21, 1600 HST, 12 of 12 available spots are filled—activating the waitlist.)
