To all my aviation friends and parents in socal check out this opportunity to volunteer with the Girl Scouts or enroll your daughters in an amazing camp! The San Diego Women in Aviation Chapter & The Commemorative Air Force Wing is hosting a Girl Scout Camp on Saturday October 19, 2013 from 9am-12pm at Gillespie Field Airport inside the Commemorative Air Force Hanger. This camp will educate girls from 6th-12th grade about the opportunities in the Aviation & Aerospace Industry! "Go up, up and away as you discover what it’s like to fly an airplane around the world! Step into the boots of commercial, helicopter and military pilots, then put on your aviator sunglasses and slide into the cockpit of a real airplane. Learn what it’s like to be a “Top Gun” flight instructor, flight surgeon or attendant. Avoid a crash landing as you explore air traffic control and airport safety. Whether you want to blast off into space or keep your feet firmly planted on the ground, the sky’s the limit!" We are looking for helping hands of individuals in the San Diego Community as well as the Aviation Industry to help motivate the girls to pursue their dreams & education goals. Who are we looking for to volunteer? Men & Women in the Industry: Pilots (Commercial, Commuter, Cargo, Corporate, Military, Recreational, Flight Instructor) Mechanics A&P Flight Attendants Aircraft Dispatcher Station Agent Station Managers Aerospace Engineers UAV (All Careers) Space Airport Manager ATC Controller Safety Inspector NTSB employees FAA employees Airport Authority employees Airline employees Aviation or Aerospace Company employees Military Personnel Flight surgeon All Careers are Welcome! ***Anyone willing to help with the camp stations, set up, tear down, photography, social media, and timekeeping are all welcome and very important! This will be an excellent networking opportunity for you as we have various Airline & Aviation Companies volunteering! **** Tell me more about the Camp: In a nutshell, the camp will be set up with roughly 5 stations. At each station, the Girl Scouts will learn about ALL of the careers of the industry. (Not only Pilots) . The Girl Scouts will interact with the volunteers by asking questions and gaining knowledge about the industry. (Many girls might not even know women fly planes!) The girls will mainly be interacting with the volunteers on a panel but there are opportunities such as trying on a flight suit, taking tours inside the aircrafts, along with listening to the volunteers talk about how he or she was able to attain their career. There will be a volunteer meeting for the" You can Be a Pilot" camp which will be held on Monday September 23, 2013 at 6pm Location: Casa Machado Restaurant (in Kearny Mesa @ MYF Airport) Address: 3750 John J Montgomery Drive, San Diego, CA 92123 This meeting is for anyone that is planning to volunteer or teach a station (Career pannel) and for those of you who would like more information about the camp.
