summer opportunities
ATLANTA ACE CAMPTHE ORGANIZATION OF BLACK AIRLINE PILOTS DELTA AIRLINES SUMMER2008 The Organization of Black Airline Pilots and Delta Air Lines sponsors a camp for students ages 14 to 18 years old who are interested in aviation. One of the purposes of the camp is to increase the number of people of color and women to join the commercial aviation industry but any student regardless of race or gender may apply for this program. Applicants are ranked for admission according to their age, GPA, and essay requirement. The camp is free to all students who are admitted but it is not a residential camp so anyone not living in the Atlanta area has to make other arrangements for room and board. Topics that the program will explore include: aviation history, meteorology, flight simulation, aerodynamics, careers in aviation, aviation legends, and a "dream flight" from Atlanta to Houston to visit the NASA Johnson Space Center. Program Dates: Session 1: July 14 - July 18 Session 2: July 21 - July 25 Dream Flight: July 23 Graduation: July 25 The second session is recommended for out of town students because of the timing of the Dream Flight and Graduation. Application Deadline: June 2 For more information, contact: Phone: 404-840-1860 E-Mail: Guystallworth@aol.com Website: www.acecamps.org | ||
