8.

- Once we have confirmation of campers on all flights, we will determine whether or not a Robin Hood escort will be
assigned. Regardless, it is always our recommendation to book your child
as an unescorted minor. For a nominal fee, the airline will allow
you to walk your child to the gate and allow us to pick your child up at
the gate (and vice versa on the return). Plus, if there are unexpected
layovers, the airline is responsible for the safety and wellbeing of
your child. This is especially important if there is a change of planes.

CAMPERS' BAGGAGE
All campers traveling to/from camp via airplane or bus (other than
campers traveling from/to abroad) need to ship duffels to/from camp.
This should be done through Camp Trucking.
Camp Trucking services the entire country plus Canada. Their prices
are less than any other carrier, including UPS and Federal Express.
Additionally, by shipping through Camp Trucking, there will be no issues
with bags being lost or misplaced in transit to/from camp. Camp Trucking
will ship bags home at the conclusion of Rookie Camp, first session and
7-week session.
You must write in big dark letters the name and group on all bags.
Soft duffels are recommended vs. hard trunks or boxes.
Parents driving their children may bring their duffels with them.
