Ten boys, ages 12 to 16, participated in Camp AMA 2021, held June 7-12, at the International Aeromodeling Center in Muncie, Indiana. Activities during camp included building, kit-bashing, touring the National Model Aviation Museum, drone racing, swimming, a cookout, a campfire, and, of course, plenty of flying.
