Through the Federal Aviation Administration’s Aviation Career Education (ACE) Camps, Cornerstone Aviation Academy encourages students to explore aviation through interactive activities such as flight simulations, hangar visits, and tours of aviation facilities. These experiences spark interest in aviation and provide real-world exposure to careers that may otherwise seem out of reach.
The camp curriculum introduces students to foundational aviation concepts while developing essential skills such as communication, teamwork, problem-solving, and leadership—helping prepare them for future educational and career opportunities.
A core purpose of ACE Camps is to help build a strong and inclusive pipeline of future aviation and aerospace professionals. By engaging students from a variety of backgrounds and experiences, the program helps reduce barriers and introduces young people to educational and career pathways throughout the aviation industry.
ACE Camps offer more than aviation instruction. Through hands-on learning, mentorship, and community and industry partnerships, students are encouraged to build confidence, explore new possibilities, and envision a future in aviation or aerospace.
