Compete in creative scavenger hunts and themed photography challenges. By the end of the week, students will have personalized portfolio images and the confidence to continue creating long after camp is over. In the second half of the camp, students will learn how to fly a drone. Each day, they will practice controlling and navigating drones expertly. Whether they are newcomers or have some flying experience, all students will improve their skills. Daily sessions will include exciting drone challenges such as obstacle courses, precision landings, and team relay races. The camp will conclude with a friendly drone-flying competition, allowing students to showcase their new skills to their families. Additional $45 supply fee* (which should be handed to the instructor on the first day of camp) *All students will use the SAME beginner model drone during the instruction, which has limited height capabilities, making it suitable for classroom learning.
