Tom Reilly Warbird Camp Still around?

I was flicking through my new copy of B-25s in Civil Service, and I noticed the page on Tom Reilly and the aviation camp. I did a quick google search and couldn't find anything on the company or the Warbird Camp outside of some of the basics, like the XP-82 restoration. I'm wondering if the camp is still around in 2023, considering the book was originally made in 1997. Any help is highly appreciated, thank you!
Forgive me if I've posted in the wrong place, by the way!

No, I believe it is long gone. Tom Reilly is now working out of Douglas, Georgia.
There is a Bomber Camp every summer at Stockton, CA.

Dang. Thanks for letting me know. I would've loved to do that for a week.
Though, isn't the bomber camp substantially different?

Bomber camp is geared to bomber ops, dropping some dummy ordinance and playing with the guns and turrets.

That's what I thought. Still sounds fun, though!
