brainstorm aviation camp

If I were setting up a field-trip day or aviation "camp," what activities could be part of this?

Ride in the plane. (Girl Scouts can't do it, cf. SafetyWise)

Where is money available? Arts showcase people charge what?

History: the building at Bowman Field. Storyteller.

Arithmetic/math Compass degrees. Read them. Wind is coming from (direction). What direction will you take to fly with it (tailwind)? Reciprocal: ie. heading plus or minus 180º. Math: associative property: figure 200º, then back 20º is the same as figuring +/- 180º.

Airfoil activity.
