Introduce your son or daughter to the wonders of hot air ballooning at our day camp held during the 2025 National Balloon Classic in Indianola. Flying High! offers a behind-the-scenes adventure into the world of hot air ballooning. Participants will learn the history of ballooning, the basic science of how balloons operate, and other important factors in piloting a balloon. This camp offers a unique opportunity for hands-on activities and learning with licensed balloon pilots, and experienced crew members.

Camp activities will take place at the Memorial Balloon Field from 9:00am - Noon each day. Transportation will be provided from the balloon field to the Indianola Wellness Campus midday for more fun, balloon-themed and recreational activities in the afternoon. Parents may pick up their students at the Indianola Wellness Campus at 4:00 p.m. or earlier. Campers need to bring a sack lunch each day and a swimming suit and towel.

Each participant will receive a 2025 camp t-shirt and two passes to an evening at the National Balloon Classic. For students entering grades 2-6 in the fall of 2025.
