Does your child dream of soaring through the skies, becoming a pilot, or learning what it takes to fly an airplane? Little Wilderness is thrilled to partner with EAA Young Eagles Chapter #237 to offer an unforgettable aviation experience at the Cambridge Municipal Airport!
This exciting event gives youth the opportunity to step into the world of aviation through hands-on learning stations, interactive demonstrations, and up-close encounters with a variety of aircraft. Participants will discover how airplanes work, learn about the different parts of an aircraft, and gain valuable insight into the fascinating world of flight.
The highlight of the day is a FREE 15–20 minute flight with a certified volunteer pilot! Each child will be assigned to an aircraft with one to two other young passengers, depending on aircraft type and weight restrictions. During their flight, participants will experience the thrill of taking to the skies and seeing the world from an entirely new perspective. Please note that parents and guardians are not permitted to ride along during these flights.
Pre-registration is REQUIRED to participate in a flight and reserve a time slot. Selecting a flight window is the only way to guarantee your child a seat in an aircraft, so be sure to register early and arrive on time. To register, simply scan the QR code and complete the online registration form. A parent or legal guardian must complete the registration for each youth participant. Prior to attending, please check the registration website for any weather-related cancellations or schedule updates.
The fun doesn't stop when the planes land! Participants and families can enjoy a complimentary hot dog meal complete with chips and a drink while exploring additional aircraft displays on the grounds. There will also be exciting prize drawings and giveaways throughout the event.
Be sure to stop by the Little Wilderness booth to learn about upcoming outdoor adventures, educational programs, and opportunities designed to help youth discover new passions and create lifelong memories.
Whether your child dreams of flying for a living or simply wants to experience the excitement of aviation firsthand, this is an opportunity they won't soon forget!
