We are considering holding a 2 week soaring camp for young new glider
pilots in July or August of next year called IYSC. This in the new
stages of planning so it may or may not succeed. At this point I need
to find some interested 14-24 year old new soaring pilots. If we get
enough interest we will go forward with this. Our club has a spring
soaring camp (this year it is from 4-19th of April) for young pilots.
They get to fly a lot, depending on weather, using winch launch flying
with our instructors (who all speak English).
The cost will be cheap, this year’s spring camp is 100€ per week! The
price of the IYSC will be in the same price range (probably a little
more). This would include: flying and launching, sleeping in the
clubhouse or a tent, meals (the participants shop and cook their own
food with adult supervision). The club has a nice clubhouse with loft
sleeping space for 20 and lots of tent space. Also there restrooms
with nice showers.
Of course this cost doesn't include the price of travel but it does
include most everything else! We can make arrangements to meet anyone
flying into Munich or maybe even Frankfurt.
So, would there be any interest in this idea? Please give me some
comments. This is in the initial planning stage but it is based on the
current "soaring camp" concept we have successfully used.
