Camas Highschool made it to the TARC 2022 event and did a great job. 7th place is a great position to make out of the hundreds of schools that competed. Mentoring and advising them with their endeavors was a great honor and to see them conduct flight testing to make it to the event was terrific. ๐๐๐ช๐
