The National Black Coalition of Federal Aviation Employees (NBCFAE) through its Aviation Career Education Academy (ACE) camps has provided leadership, education and guidance to acquaint young people with the potential of finding careers in the air transportation system and general aviation.

The NBCFAE has reached well over 100,000 students nationwide spanning its thirty plus years.

ACE activities include, extended aviation career summer camps, day classes and briefings, trips to airports, air flight to other cities, and visits to Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) facilities including towers and centers.

It is at these camps that we provide varying activities that include overnight camp outings trips to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), hands on activity, ground instruction, flight instruction, pilot simulations, seminars, flight certification classes, and much more aviation education.

Students often end the ACE workshops with actually flying a single engine aircraft.

NBCFAE has partnered with learning institutions, Federal Aviation Administration, the Organization of Black Airline Pilots, Tuskegee Airmen, and other aviation groups to encourage students to explore aviation and aerospace career opportunities. Some of our senior students and those who attend on a regular basis have assumed careers in the aviation industry and occupations as commercial and/or military pilots.

Balloon Federation of America "Balloon Camps" The Balloon Federation of America Jr. Balloonist summer camps are based at local college campuses and are chaperoned by experienced pilots and crews. Activities are designed for all skill levels and interests. No need to worry if you don't have experience in hot air ballooning. Balloon tethers are scheduled throughout the camp (weather permitting) under the leadership of FAA licensed pilots, to provide hands-on, practical ballooning experience. A tethered hot air balloon ride refers to when a balloon is secured to the ground by several points and allowed to rise 50-75 feet above the ground. Tethering is an excellent way to introduce people to balloon flight. Campers explore math, science, and technology careers throughout the week in hands on settings. This is the ultimate experience for those 13 to 18 who want to learn more about hot air balloons and crewing for hot air balloons. Camp fee is $450.00 and may vary depending on the area of the country. To learn more about camps near you, please visit www.BFACamp.com or www.BFA.net or call 515-961-8809. Read more about our camp.
