2023 BFA balloon camps: How to inspire youth to take flight
By Katie Griggs, BFA Youth Program Chairman
In 2023, the Ballooning Federation of America (BFA) had a total of 60 young people attending three sleepover camps and two Event Camps. All camps were successful, in that the campers could learn from experienced pilots and get hands on experiences with the balloons.
Since 2014, more than 37 campers have gone on to become pilots themselves.
