NOTES FOR ALL AIR TRAVELERS:

  • There is a $100 roundtrip/$60 one-way charge for transportation to/from Manchester, NH, Portland, ME and Boston (Logan) Airports on the following designated travel days: June 22, July 22, and August 9.
     
  • On non-designated travel days, there is a $160 roundtrip/$80 one-way charge for transportation to/from the airports specified above.
     
  • 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.
     
  • Please let us know about your travel plans by completing the online Transportation Form.
