This is a day trip, cadets will return in the evening; we will post on the website when we leave Summerside with an estimate time of arrival. Gliding is an activity in which pilots fly unpowered aircraft known as gliders using a tow rope and an air plane or truck to pull the glider into the air like a kite. When the glider reaches a certain altitude the tow rope is released and using naturally occurring currents of rising air in the atmosphere to remain airborne. 

LUNCH IS NOT PROVIDED. Cadets MUST bring their own lunch, snacks & drinks. We will be on a runway all day and do NOT have access to a store.

Subway will be provided for SUPPER ONLY.

Cadets MUST sign up for this activity- 01-May-2024 WAS the last chance to sign up. IF YOUR CADET DID NOT SIGN UP THEY CAN NOT GO
