Camp SOAR is a week-long, service-driven, STEM-powered summer camp inspired by the legacy of Colonel Halvorsen.

His recipe for resilience is simple and timeless:

Attitude
Gratitude
Service Before Self

Camp SOAR brings those values to life for 5th–6th graders through:

Aviation & STEM Experiences: Rocketry challenges, engineering labs, flight principles, and humanitarian aviation.

Service-Learning Projects: Kindness missions, food-pantry service, school beautification, community impact projects.

SEL, Reflection, Mental Health Support: Journaling, values-based conversations, and mentorship grounded in belonging and purpose.

Mentorship & Leadership Development: Civil Air Patrol cadets, high school mentors, and community volunteers guiding each student.

In order to share this experience with even more students, we are also developing this program to be presented in districts as an after-school program and a module for home schools.

Camp SOAR isn’t just a camp. It’s a launchpad.
