    Getting to camp

    How to get from the airport to your camp, including onward travel instructions and transport options.

    Last updated March 25, 2026

    What is onward travel?

    Onward travel is the journey from the airport to your camp. Your Camp Leaders profile includes detailed onward travel instructions with everything you need to get to camp after you arrive in the US.

    These instructions are put together specifically for your journey. Follow them carefully, as they are designed to get you to camp on time and safely.

    How do I get from the airport to camp?

    The method of travel from the airport to camp varies. Some participants take a bus, others are collected by camp staff, and some may take an internal flight or train. Your onward travel information will explain exactly what to do, step by step.

    Who do I contact if there is a problem on the way?

    Your onward travel information includes two phone numbers:

    • Your camp's number

    • Camp Leaders' number

    If you run into any delays or problems during your journey, keep both camp and Camp Leaders updated. Camp Leaders has a 24-hour US support line for emergencies, travel issues, or any other support you might need.
