TRI-CITIES, Wash. — Washington State University Tri-Cities has announced a new summer camp experience for students in grades 8 and 9.

“In The Air” is a three-week afternoon summer camp that lets students explore and experience the world of aviation while sharpening math skills.

The camp, which begins July 29, will feature a full-day field trip to the Museum of Flight in Seattle and a day at Central Washington University’s Flight Technology program in Ellensburg.
