2026 Summer Camp Registration
The Aerospace Center for Excellence has been inspiring the next generation of aerospace professionals for more than 25 years. Launched in 1999, our summer camp programs have inspired and motivated young people from around the world. ACE provides a safe, fun, and engaging environment that promotes hands-on learning while fostering excitement in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) through aviation. Our summer camps are day camps that are packed with activities that engage students in all aspects of the aerospace industry.
