I'm just about to finish up highschool and I've just started my flight
training for my PPL. I haven't really looked at colleges much, but I've
heard that there's some out there where you can get a 4 year degree while
getting flight hours/commercial license/ratings.

This unique camp is open to teenagers (ages 16-17) and offers aviation
enthusiasts a chance to attend ground school, log flight time, and learn
about the various careers within the aviation industry. The amount of actual
flight training makes this summer adventure unique, the sky becomes a
college classroom where students fly and log time with flight instructors
with six different launches, simulator session, Visual Flight Rules (VFR)
flight, Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) flight, cross-country flight, night
flight, and an aerobatic flight. They also study flight planning in
accordance to a structured college curriculum. They reside in UND residence
