The closest airport to camp is the Monterey Airport, approximately 45 minutes by car. Campers also fly into San Jose International Airport (approximately 2 hours by car) and San Francisco International Airport (approximately 3 hours by car).
As a convenience for camper families, the camp will transport campers to and from Monterey airport for a fee. Arrangements must be made with the camp at least two weeks prior to your camper's travel. The fee for campers able to travel on their own (without the unaccompanied minor airline requirement) is $50 each way. Because of the additional time involved, the fee to transport an unaccompanied minor is $100 each way. Please contact us before making airline reservations.

They will pick up your camper at baggage claim and return him/her to the ticket counter, or the gate if the camper is an unaccompanied minor.
