FOLD & FLY PAPER AIRPLANES

Up, up and away! The whole family will love this exciting class. Young kids learn ways to fold different types of paper airplanes and how to launch them. Older “kids-at-heart” will enjoy creating balsa wood or rubber band flyers. At the end of each class there will be contests like the most creative design, the longest flight, and the best landing. This class is offered by the District and partners with the Coachella Valley Radio Control Club. They will demonstrate an Electric Remote Flyer and show you how it works. Making and flying paper airplanes is great fun, and so is watching them fly. Come fly with us!
