Do You Know of Any 7th & 8th Graders Looking for Something Fun to Do this Summer?

The Aeronautical Center and True Sky Foundation, in partnership with Moore Norman Technology Center and AAR, are hosting the 19th Annual Aviation Career Education (ACE) Camp tailored to students in the 7th and 8th grades. It’s four fun-filled days of aviation-related activities, perfect for young aviation enthusiasts or those who don’t know anything about aviation.

ACE Camp’s mission is to introduce students to a variety of careers that are available in aerospace, to learn about aviation, and to understand the importance that air transportation plays in our society and our economy.

The camp dates are June 8-11th, 2026, or June 22-25th, 2026. Both camps are from 8 am - 5 pm with lunches provided. We are looking for 52 students who will be in the 7th or 8th grades during the 2026-2027 school year. Students must complete an application and provide a letter of recommendation.

The one-week camp is free, but the application process is competitive, as only 26 students are selected for each camp. All applications will be reviewed and decided upon by a selection committee. The deadline to receive applications is April 30, 2026.

Applications, along with a letter of recommendation can be submitted through one of these options:
