The camp, which will be at the Schenectady County Airport in Glenville, will teach kids about aviation and what pilots do in the air and on the ground. Your kids will learn about the history of aviation and aircraft design, how airplanes fly, different parts of the plane, and how helicopters fly. One segment on how planes fly will include thrust, lift, drag, and flight control.

Guest speakers will interact with the kids and give guided tours of the museum exhibits and airpark. If you have never been to the museum, there are more than 20 historic military aircraft that the students will be able to get into the cockpits. Some of the planes are actual fighters and attack aircraft.

Besides exploring the planes, students will have the opportunity to work with the Experimental Aircraft Association Chapter 602 to become Junior EAA members, which includes a half-hour flight in an airplane.

SUNY/SCCC offers a variety of camps for August if aviation isn't your child's thing. For example, there is Acting for Kids, Advanced LEGO Robotics with SPIKE, Emergency Vet, Video Games, Red Hot Robotics, 3-2-1 Blast off, and this one might be the most popular Minecraft Modders.

LOOK: See America's 50 Best Beach Towns

Every beach town has its share of pluses and minuses, which got us thinking about what makes a beach town the best one to live in. To find out, Stacker consulted data from WalletHub, released June 17, 2020, that compares U.S. beach towns. Ratings are based on six categories: affordability, weather, safety, economy, education and health, and quality of life. The cities ranged in population from 10,000 to 150,000, but they had to have at least one local beach listed on TripAdvisor. Read the full methodology here. From those rankings, we selected the top 50. Readers who live in California and Florida will be unsurprised to learn that many of towns featured here are in one of those two states.
