Each week-long camp topic runs Monday-Friday, 9 AM to 4 PM (Full Day) or 9 AM to 12 PM (Half Day). All campers will participate in two hour-long activities each morning, and Full Day campers will participate in two additional activities each afternoon. Pre-registration is required and children must be signed in and out by a parent or guardian.

Activity Locations

Camp activities take place within classrooms, exhibit spaces and outside areas at and around the Hiller Aviation Museum. Please ensure that children are ready for both indoor and outdoor activities.

Flying Wright campers will leave the Museum for a short walking field trip to the San Carlos Airport control tower. Day and time for the field trip will be announced on the first day of camp. We are sorry, but due to space constraints and security considerations parents may not join this event.

Air & Space campers will participate in a field trip at the end of their camp week to visit a rocket launch site and launch their Viper rockets. Bus transportation will be provided for campers. Parents are welcome to attend, but must provide their own transportation to the launch site. Launch dates, times and maps will be available on the first day of camp.

Grouping and Instructor Supervision

Campers will be divided by grade level during morning activities and may be combined in an age-appropriate manner at breaks, during sign-in/sign-out, during afternoon activities and for special events such as aircraft demonstrations or field trips. Please indicate any grouping requests on the registration form.

Campers are supervised by one adult instructor per ten campers, with additional teen volunteers assisting in non-supervisory roles. Camp instructors are aviation education professionals who complete annual pre-camp training and are thoroughly background checked. Additional Museum staff members work with campers as necessary to ensure an exceptional camp experience.

All campers should bring a snack for morning break, and full day campers should bring a lunch (insulated coolers or lunch boxes are ideal). Snack and lunch breaks are supervised time, with aviation-themed films shown and/or games played during break time daily as appropriate.
