General Information

Trips to Oshkosh became an annual event for Aviation Explorer Post 218 of Racine, Wisconsin. A desire to open the program up to other Posts resulted in what is now the Aviation Explorer Base. Starting with a small group of scouts in 1993. The program has grown to 98 Explorers this year. Include the adult advisers, and there are 125 people, not including staff, camping at the Explorer Base. Campers come from Aviation Explorer Posts all over the country and have included attendees from England and Poland. They all arrived on Sunday and will depart next Sunday, after a full week at EAA AirVenture.

Our Facilities

Our Facilities are Nestled in the heart of the AirVenture Grounds  next to the Civil Air Patrol Encampment. We have
full cooking facilities and room for around 150 registered Explorers to camp. Our area is within walking distance to bathroom and showering facilities. The Explorer Base is open field camping. All participants must provide their own shelter, i.e. tents, small camping trailer, etc.  Limited electricity is available, if necessary. Pre-planning is essential to ensure each participant has a place to stay. Keep in mind that this is an Explorer Camp and BSA guidelines for camping activities will be strictly enforced.
