Children interested in flying into the wild blue yonder should definitely participate in this camp! Chip Rasher, Pontiac Flight Service’s owner, will be overseeing this exciting camp. Boys and girls, ages 10 and up are eligible for this 4-day program. Groups of three, with instructor, will share time in their own Cessna 172 throughout the week.
Monday – In the classroom, campers will spend time learning the fundamentals of flight, how to do a preflight, the basics of aircraft instruments and Aircraft OPS. Classroom time 2.5 hours.
Tuesday – Campers will spend their time in the air concentrating on preflight, turns, climbs, descents, flight altitude, and basic maneuvers. Flight time 2.0 hours.
Wednesday – Preflight, maneuvers, pattern work and takeoffs and landings will be the day’s topics. Flight time 2.0 hours.
Thursday – The week will culminate in a cross-state trip to Kalamazoo Airport where campers will have lunch. Flight time 3.0 hours.
Campers will receive a flight logbook in which they will be able to log their stick time. This will then be signed by their instructor and can later be applied as flight credit toward their private pilot’s license. The FAA requires 40 hours of flight time with an instructor for licensing.
Friday will be reserved as a makeup day in case of inclement weather. Cost includes all flying, lunch on Thursday, and flight logbook.

What's
What at OYA |
|
Oakland
Yard Summer Camps is continuing our
passport program to ensure that we
are a leader in safety by providing
a worry free place for parents to
leave their children. To accomplish
this, we will continue to issue camper
passports to all campers. In addition
to our passport security measure,
we will ask that you park your car
and come into our gated-area each
day to drop off and pick up your child. |
|
How
It Works: Campers
will use their passport on a daily
basis to check in with their counselors.
Counselors will use this passport
and the information contained therein
as a quick reference for attendance
and emergency information.
Upon receipt of your child's
passport, we request that you fill
in the required information with
a pencil.
Campers passports will
be returned to each them at the
end of the day when their parent
checks them out.
There is a one time passport
fee of $10 per child. This
passport will never expire, it just
needs to be updated with your child's
current photo each year.

|
Parents who want
to pre-purchase ice cream and candy
credits for campers can do so for
any amount they desire.
Why do this? It allows kids to have
treat without carrying around cash.
Our counselors will keep the passports
in a safe place during the day then
at noon and a predetermined time during
lunch club and working parent the
campers can redeem their credits for
candy or ice cream.
All ice cream and candy costs
$1 |
|
Oakland Yard is
once again offering transportation
to and from our off-site camps for
a nominal fee.
To take advantage of transportation,
kids need to be enrolled in either
the Breakfast Club or Lunch Club.
|
|
As overnight campers,
we loved getting care packages from
mom and dad. Our day campers can experience
the same thrill with our OYA Mail
Call. We have our own official mailbox
for you to deposit letters and care
packages into when you drop them off
in the morning.
We will have Mail Call on
Wednesday during Lunch Club,
if your child is not in Lunch Club
we will deliver the package on Thursday
morning. |
|
In the event of
rain, Oakland Yard campers will participate
in an indoor field day inside the
dome. Campers may be asked to participate
in activities other than the camp
they signed up for.
Camps that generally go about their
business on rain days: Sports &
Games, Arts & Crafts, Soccer,
Hip-Hop and Cheerleading.
There will be no make-up days offered
if a rain day should occur, except
where noted. |
