TRAVELING TO CAMP
ARRIVALS
Sunday is the usual travel day coming to camp. Our camp counselors are
at the Portland Airport from 10:30 AM to 2:00 PM to pick up campers.
Best arrival time is around noon. You can come on Saturday, which is a
"DAY EARLY" for an extra day of skiing and
to become acclimated to the altitude for an additional charge. Saturday arrivals
can be between 10:30 AM and 8:00 PM. Write "day early" on your
application form at the bottom. **The "day early" arrival is
only available for the Spring and Summer sessions. You cannot arrive a
day early to any of our Fall or Winter camp sessions.
