Aer0camp is a progressive daily activity 10am-4pm where we make flying things and test them out. Scale modelling is based on historic aircraft using laser cutting with cardboard, styrene and MDF.
Observation of scale radio controlled models inform about aerodynamic principles. The activities are experientially based and learning what characteristics improve flight. Laser cutting facilitates rapid making of many airframes without the need for traditional craft tools. Friendly and fun competitions on our own spacious site (weather permitting) give the opportunity for rigorous testing! Indoor flying in our marquee if the weather is poor. This suits children who love making things.
Family camping is available for £10/night per family those who wish to stay on site overnight. (Basic facilities only - no hookup)
