A Summer Adventure for Plane-Loving Kids: DuBois Aviation Camp in Chino

Some children collect airplane facts. Others stop mid-conversation whenever a plane crosses the sky. If that sounds familiar, an aviation camp is a summer idea worth exploring together. At Chino Airport, DuBois Aviation offers a way to connect that fascination with an introduction to flying.

Curiosity gets a real-world setting

The school’s published summer-camp outline combines ground lessons, simulator practice, and instructor-led airplane flying. It also lists a museum visit at Chino Airport and a final-day celebration. Explore DuBois Aviation’s official camp page ↗ for the program outline.

That combination gives families several things to talk about before choosing a camp. Does your child love learning how machines work? Do they enjoy following a sequence of instructions? Are they excited by the idea of asking an instructor questions? Start there, rather than treating a camp as an early career decision.

Make it your child’s adventure

Invite your child to write three questions for the school: one about the aircraft, one about the day’s activities, and one about anything that feels unfamiliar. A child can be enthusiastic and nervous at the same time. Ask the staff how they introduce new participants to the airport and what happens if someone needs extra reassurance.

Keep the conversation open-ended. The goal might be discovering a new interest, learning a new skill, or simply understanding airplanes better. Let the child’s own curiosity guide the choice.

Start planning with the next available session

As of October 28, 2026, the official camp page still displays summer 2026 information. Those summer dates are past; this article does not announce a 2027 schedule. Ask DuBois about the next session, eligible ages, current price, availability, and weather arrangements before making plans.

For Inland Empire, Orange County, and Los Angeles-area families, map the actual drive to Chino at the proposed arrival time. A camp that works on paper should also fit your family’s morning routine.
