Chickasaw Nation Aviation and Space Academy
The Chickasaw Nation Aviation and Space Academy was established in the summer of
2003. CNASA is a learning program designed to encourage Chickasaw students
interested in aviation, space, science or math, to pursue careers and
opportunities in these fields.
Chickasaw students interested in these fields are encouraged to attend. There
are two action packed weeks of flying in simulators and taking field trips. Each
student will also get the opportunity to fly in a real plane. The first week of
camp is for grades 9-12, the second week is for grades 5-8. Each week a student
is awarded top gun and a super top gun! These awards encourage our students to
strive to do the best they can and learn as much as possible.
For more information on the Chickasaw Nation Aviation and Space Academy please see their website.
Further details and application form for Australian students will be available here early in 2008.
