Gifted Atlanta

Fernbank Science Center in Decatur is now accepting applications for Aviation Camp, a one-week summer day camp for students entering 4th, 5th or 6th grade next fall. Two sessions will be held, June 18-22, and June 25-29, 2012.

First-time campers learn about the principles of flight. Advanced campers with more experience will try out flight simulators and fly remote-control helicopters.

Cost of the camp is $260 per week. Full or partial scholarships may be available for students who receive free or reduced-price lunch at their school.

Fernbank Science Center is owned and operated by DeKalb County Schools, but Aviation Camp is open to students from anywhere.

Deadline to apply is May 14.
