Introduction
The High Flight Adventures Advanced Camp is designed to build on previous camps and trade inexperience for confidence, develop self esteem through achievement and to develop leadership. The High Flight Adventures Advanced Camp provides an atmosphere for mature students to become totally immersed in the world of flight. Ground instruction and introductory recreational flight experiences highlight this meaningful, action-packed camp. It combines "in-the-air" and "on-the-ground" hands-on activities. The High Flight Adventures Advanced Camp also includes full participation as a volunteer (access to forums, flight-line and all associated activities) in The Classic Air Rally , held August 23rd and 24th, 2008. .flightworks.ca

Challenge Course Initiatives
Initiatives are activities that provide a group of campers a framework to become a stronger team. The group benefits by offering the individual a chance to develop new and enriched skills. How does this work? Participants are asked to work together to accomplish many goals. Through the process of reaching their goals, the group learns how to cooperate, problem solve, think creatively, communicate effectively, and manage conflict. As the group progresses, an attitude of care, concern, and trust for each person overpowers the need for competition and rivalry. The insights gained from the Challenge Course initiatives can be then transferred to real life situations.
