LAKEPORT, California — The Skylark Shores Resort and the Clear Lake Flying Club have slated the 2025 Clear Lake Splash-In for April 24-27, 2025.
The Skylark Shores Resort will serve as the principal venue for the event, with additional activities planned at Lampson Field airport (1O2) and other locations in Lake County, according to organizers.
The 2025 Clear Lake Splash-In will feature an extensive lineup of activities and seminars designed for both seasoned seaplane pilots and aspiring young aviators. These include a variety of seaplane flying skill contests that highlight the expertise of participating pilots and provide viewers with insights into the art of flying seaplanes.
Additionally, the 2025 Clear Lake Splash-In “aims to underscore the significant career opportunities available for young people in the aviation industry,” organizers noted.
Herb Lingl, the education director of the Clear Lake Flying Club, notes that at “the 2025 Clear Lake Splash-In the flying club will present content designed to encourage the young people of Lake County and their parents to consider aviation as a career option. The Splash-In will include seminars outlining the tremendous career opportunities for young people in aviation and provide aviation related content designed to engage young people of many age groups.”
Clear Lake High School is teaching an aviation curriculum for the first time beginning this fall. After attending seminars at the 2023 Clear Lake Splash-In, Lakeport Unified School District superintendent Matt Bullard worked with Clear Lake High School to apply for and receive approval to teach the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) Foundation High School Aviation STEM Curriculum.
The Clear Lake Flying Club is supporting the academic curriculum with hands-on practical training at Lampson Field. Students participating in the high school’s aviation program will have the opportunity to work on aircraft, fly a simulator, and obtain flight training at the airport.
