Confirm arrival transportation, understand local travel options and make safe travel decisions during your Camp USA program.
Before booking flights, confirm your arrival airport, date, time and pickup instructions with your host camp. Some camps arrange pickup from a specific airport or bus station, while others provide instructions for public transportation.
Keep all arrival instructions saved offline in case you cannot access mobile data immediately after landing.
Transportation options differ widely by camp location. Rural camps may have limited public transportation, while camps near cities may have more options. Ask your camp what is available for shopping, days off and medical appointments.
Follow camp policies for time off, sign-out procedures and return times. Tell your supervisor where you are going and how you can be reached if camp rules require it.
Do not drive a camp vehicle or personal vehicle unless you are authorized, licensed and insured according to camp policy and state law. Some camps have strict rules about staff driving, passenger limits and vehicle use.
If you are unsure whether you are allowed to drive, ask your supervisor before getting behind the wheel.
Use reliable transportation, keep your phone charged and avoid unsafe situations. If plans change, contact your camp and update them as required.
Know where to arrive, how you will reach camp and what transportation rules apply once your program begins.
