TESTIMONIALS
“Most kids don’t get the opportunity to explore aviation in such a detailed and thorough way that camp provides. At the airport/soaring operation that I participate in at home there are maybe 4 other people under the age of 20 and no other women. It is so inspiring to see that other people like me are also interested in aviation.” ~ Ava, 15
“Soaring camp starts out as a sort of strange experience where a camper arrives on Sunday and is then immediately cared for, makes friends and thrown into a glider cockpit. It was an amazing experience which cannot be recreated outside of Sugarbush Soaring in Vermont. Every year it’s made me a better person.” ~ Henry, 15
“Soaring camp has truly changed my life and I am so happy to be here. Everyone I have met has been amazing and has introduced me to gliding in the best way possible. I now wish to pursue a career in aviation. I loved the entire experience and can’t wait to continue my life with this knowledge. I really want to come back next year!” ~ Riley, 14
“I just want to express how grateful I am to everyone involved in this camp. I could see myself dedicating my life to this airport, this community and everyone here. I’ve reached a level of pure happiness that I haven’t reached in a long time if ever. I really don’t know how to say it in writing, the “environment” and dynamic here is just wonderful. I hope to be back as soon and as much as possible. Thank you for everything.” ~ Sam, 15
“I know that I feel incredibly lucky every time I get the chance to sit in the cockpit, and not a second of this time around aviation is taken for granted. I’m so appreciative of all the instructors and line crew and airport staff for being so welcoming and supportive, and for being such great representatives of what is possible in aviation. I’m so grateful for this experience at Sugarbush Soaring, and I’ll remember these flights, conversations & lessons for a lifetime.” ~ 2023 Camper
