The Museum requests a minimum group size of 15. Campers will spend one overnight session at the NSM's encampment program. Other days will be filled with a Schweizer Aircraft Corporation helicopter presentation, a Harris Hill Soaring Corporation glider ride, a visit to the Eileen Collins Observatory on the Corning Community College Campus and an airplane ride provided by the Experimental Aircraft Association's Young Eagle Program. The kids will tour the Glenn H. Curtiss Museum, the National Warplane Museum, and the Elmira-Corning Regional Airport. Each session is limited to 25 participants, so call the Museum today for an application form.
Scholarships are available.
