I am not sure if they have a mininum age limit. I didn't fly there as it was too windy that day, but I have flown some basic hang gliders and it is great fun, and not too hard.
I visited both Seminole Glider Port as well as this place in the same day, so I think they are probably within a couple of hours drive, give it a try.
It's Wallaby Ranch, 1-800 Wallaby or 1-863 424-0070.
