Balloon Camp
July 12-16, 2015
Millersville University
Millersville, Pennsylvania
Are you a teen (or know of one) aged 13-18, interested in hot air ballooning and willing to join us for five fun filled action packed days/evenings? Camp starts Sunday afternoon and ends Thursday afternoon at the Millersville University campus. Come and share 5 days with up to 20 teens living and breathing ‘ballooning’ . PREVIOUS BALLOONING EXPERIENCE is NOT REQUIRED as our campers will be joining a volunteer staff of FAA certified pilots and experienced crew who will be acting as their mentors and counselors – making sure everyone benefits. Enjoy the company of others sharing a passion for ballooning, in this unique and different camp experience!
Please register for our camp by clicking on the "Sign Up" link above.
Between our hands-on work with various balloon systems (including rigging, tethering and pack-up), and our interactive class sessions, our campers will learn quickly. They will learn what is important to pilots and crew, all while in a fun and safety oriented environment.

You will find the tuition for this camp includes all that, plus meals and housing in the secure campus dormitories at the University. When camp ends, you will leave as a more valuable crew member, better prepared for becoming a safe pilot, and a chance for lasting friendships.
Our camp is centrally located with easy access to/from the following airports: Philadelphia International, Harrisburg International, and Lancaster Airport.
Twenty lucky teens will have the opportunity for an experience others only dream about.
