All airport pick-ups are by prior arrangement only, subject to availability. Please contact Abbe, Assistant Camp Director, to discuss PRIOR to booking any travel tickets.
Bus to Camp
We will not be offering bus transportation to or from camp this summer.
In order to ensure the safest possible start to Camp we will be asking all families to drive their campers to camp themselves. If this presents a challenge to any of our families, we will work with them to figure out a safe solution. We will be reaching out to campers who normally fly to camp and will be making special arrangements, following our safety protocols, with them.
