Soaring Discovery Day is free and open to the public and is a unique opportunity for young people to learn about the joy and excitement of silent flight at Sugarbush Soaring.

Open to boys and girls aged 13 – 18, the day will be spent learning about the principles of flying gliders and connecting with other like-minded youth and aviation professionals.

Meet the students who participate in our Line Crew Program, and watch them in action as they launch and recover gliders.

The day will conclude with a raffle of 5 free introductory glider flights (for youth only, to be taken at a later date.)
