iFly
What if your next homeschool field trip was an indoor skydiving lesson that left your kids braver, your group more connected, and your whole family eager to go back? Today we talk about Kayla’s first visit to iFLY Atlanta—and how an exciting day in the wind tunnel became a memorable mix of fun, science, and confidence-building. We talk with podcast friend Whitney about how to set up the field trip, and what she loves about iFly and homeschooling. We learn what to expect, from hands-on demonstrations about weight and surface area to the safety briefing and the moment you float in the tunnel. Kayla explains why the experience felt less intimidating than expected, upping the excitement for the second flight, and how the instructors help flyers have an amazing flight.Our conversation also discusses the value of going on field trips in community. If you’re looking for an adventurous educational outing for your homeschool group or family, tune in for a firsthand look at iFLY’s field trip experience.
