Why should I attend Maine Ace Camp?

Students who attend ACE camps have the fortunate opportunity to see up close and first-hand, how our aviation system works from the inside looking out. They will tour many facilities and meet military and civilian experts who are willing to share their knowledge and experience about what it takes (and what NOT to do) to get into their career fields. This insight will enable them to prepare NOW for their future and plan their academic course accordingly based on their desired occupation. The U.S. aviation industry is the most advanced, safest and professional system in the world, and remains that way only because of the high standards each organization, business, and individual maintains. Below are some of the many aviation industry jobs - both military and civilian - that are in demand now and will be in the future:

Air traffic controllers

Fixed base operator
Aviation mechanics
Flight attendants
