The Girls of Aviation 

As a nonprofit serving the community, The Girls of Aviation is hosting a virtual summer camp showcasing successful women aviation professionals. We will also be teaching instrumentation and fundamentals of aircraft flying! At the end of the camp, there will be a group field trip to an aviation facility!
