My 12-year-old son has been going to the Hiller Aviation Camps over the last several summers and vacations, and he has loved them all. He was very interested in Spaceflight Tech because they would have the opportunity to design and launch their own rockets. He was mildly disappointed that they were only able to choose from existing designs for the nosecone and fins, not completely design the entire rocket from scratch; perhaps that's for next year! Overall he had an amazing time, and would highly recommend it to other kids.
