Jon Martin is the airport manager. He said the
idea for the camp came about 10 years ago over a
piece of pie at Perkins Restaurant with some local
pilots. Martin said most of the kids' parents don't
fly, and although most are local they come from as
far as California for the week. Many are repeats.
"When you get kids that come back from year to
year you have to keep it fresh," he said.
Martin puts on a barbecue for campers and
parents on Thursday evening. They shut down
the runway for an hour, fly RC airplanes, and do
a big candy drop over the runway.
The camp's success can be measured in the
counselors. Almost all are former campers who
come back to continue to be a part of the airport
community. Martin said some previous campers
have soloed at 16 and earned a certificate at 17. Some
are now corporate pilots or at aviation colleges.
In addition to the camp, Martin was
instrumental in building a fitness trail for the
community that surrounds the airport. They also
sponsor an airshow and other community events
throughout the year.
"We don't want to be a part of the community,"
he said. "We want to be a pillar of the community."

FOR PARENTS OF SCHOOL-AGE CHILDREN, summer presents a choice: Endure 12 grueling weeks
of forced togetherness or do your best not to scar
your children and pick camps they don't detest.
New Garden Airport in Toughkenamon,
Pennsylvania, is one of a handful of airports
around the country offering a respite to the usual
craft-pool-dodgeball cycle. The picturesque rural
airport outside Philadelphia hosts two weeklong
camps every summer-for kids between ages 7 and
15-focused entirely on aviation and aerospace.
Each camp has about 80 kids, and every day
begins with a flight briefing. Activities include
model airplane building, presentations from rocket
scientists and other aerospace professionals, and a
trip to the National Air and Space Museum's UdvarHazy Center outside Washington, D.C. The day of
our visit kids were sitting in the hangar, talking,
fidgeting, and then laughing as the rocket scientist
blasted off his bottle rocket inside the hangar. He
asked if the kids wanted to see it again, and there
were enthusiastic cheers of "faster" and "higher."
The highlight of the week is a local flight,
and sometimes kids are offered multiple flights.
The airport's flight school helps administer the
flights, in concert with the airport administration that puts on the camp.
