Earlier this month, Vance-Granville Community College welcomed local youth to our Henderson and Louisburg campuses for a week of high-flying, educational fun! Each of the two campuses hosted a weeklong drone camp known as an Aviation Career Exploration (ACE) Academy, made possible with the support of the Federal Aviation Administration. The NC Department of Transportation’s Division of Aviation supplied grant funding via the Henderson-Oxford and Triangle North Executive airports.
Campers visited Triangle North Executive Airport in Louisburg, Raleigh-Durham International Airport, and Henderson-Oxford Airport. VGCC is one of only three community colleges in North Carolina hosting an ACE Academy.
A big thanks to Customized Training Director James Brown for leading this camp with co-instructor Derek Parker and the assistance of Tanya Weary, Sheri Jones, and Ken Wilson of The VGCC Foundation.
Find information about future youth camps on our Camps & Workshops. To learn more about Vance-Granville’s Aviation offerings, please visit www.vgcc.edu/aviation.
