🎈 High Sierra Balloon Camp has come to an end! 🎈

What an incredible week filled with learning, teamwork, adventure, and memories that will last long after the balloons have landed. From inflation and launches to competitions, knot tying, scavenger hunts, and plenty of laughs along the way, our flyers experienced so much both on and off the field.

Thank you to all of our campers, staff, pilots, crew, and families for making this year’s camp such a success. We loved sharing our passion for ballooning with the next generation of aviators!

We aren’t done sharing the fun just yet — keep an eye on our page as we’ll be posting more photo dumps and highlights from an unforgettable week at High Sierra Balloon Camp! 🎈📸✨

These next few videos are the flyers skits of the hazardous attitudes pilots can have!
