Hang Gliding Camps and Clinics

Hang Gliding Camps

Immerse yourself in hang gliding for one week and let us take care of the rest. Our hang gliding camps are intensive, challenging and fun. The instruction is personalized, accelerating the learning process. Although we cannot guarantee it, many campers achieve their United States Hang Gliding Association (USHGA) pilot rating by the end of the week (If you don't achieve your rating, additional lessons can be purchased at a low discounted rate).

Availability is limited! Reserve today by calling 1(877) 359-8447.
