2023 Camper Travel Instructions

We encourage families to arrange their travel plans as early as possible so campers are able to travel together. Please review all of the information below, particularly regarding travel to/from camp and direction on camper baggage.

Please also be reminded that circumstances surrounding COVID could affect travel plans. We will continue to follow the science and keep you updated if any changes need to be made with regard to transportation options.

Driving to Camp

Parents driving their children to camp will receive an email as camp draws closer requesting them to choose a time to arrive at camp for drop-off, along with detailed instructions.
Parents picking up their children from camp should plan to arrive no later than 10:00 am, if possible.
See driving directions.

Camper 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 the First Session and Full 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.
• See additional travel information.
