Fly-In Program
 At the request of Minnesota law enforcement officers, a National Guard helicopter flies to a school or similar area and gives a presentation incorporating aviation with achieving life goals, decision making, teamwork, safety, and living a drug-free life style.
This program is primarily geared toward kids in grades 5 through 7 (frequently used to support D.A.R.E. and other drug education programs). If you would like to arrange a fly-in please fax us a request letter to (651) 282-4021. We will require the following paperwork:

Note: This year we received fewer flight hours from National Guard Bureau than in past years. This shortage in combination with an increased emphasis on counterdrug/narco-terrorist interdiction activities will decrease the number of Fly In Programs that we can accomplish this year. We will continue to take requests, however, cannot guarantee that we will be able to fulfill all of them. We thank you for your understanding and continued support of our program.

Adventure Program
 A great deal of research has been done to study why some kids are more resilient against the pressures to use drugs, commit crimes, join gangs, etc, than others. Resilient kids are frequently described as those who have developed a strong sense of identity and personal goals, high self- esteem, effective communication skills, an appreciation of others, and creative problem solving skills. By providing opportunities for kids to build these skills in an Adventure Program, we can do more than tell them drugs are bad for them - we can actually give them the tools they need to reach their goals, so that they don’t feel the need to turn to drugs.
This program, uses experiential learning activities help middle school students build important personal resiliency skills.
