COPA For Kids Aviation Program cleared for takeoff
COPA is pleased to announce the launch of our program to promote aviation to Canada’s youth. The mission of the COPA For Kids Aviation Program is to provide a motivational aviation experience, focusing on a flight in an airplane.
These flights are provided free of charge to all people ages 7-17.
The COPA For Kids Aviation Program is sponsored by Travelers, the underwriters for the COPA Gold and Silver Wings programs and delivered by our national network of COPA Flights.
“The COPA For Kids Aviation Program has been inspired by Young Eagles but is not associated in any way with Young Eagles or the EAA,” COPA President Kevin Psutka said. “I am pleased that the EAA will continue the Young Eagles program through its Canadian Chapters. With our two programs in place, we can maximize the opportunity for kids to experience the thrill of flight.”
COPA Flights and COPA members who wish to fly young people are invited to read the Guide to the COPA For Kids Aviation Program and see the attractive brochure and certificate that is available for download. Kids and parents can visit http://www.copaforkids.org for an introduction to aviation and invitation to fly. Please email COPAForKids@copanational.org if you have any questions.
