Make sure all of your paperwork has been turned in, including the “Medical Update Form” that is required to be submitted at check in.

Campers can arrive at Sacramento Airport on flights that land between 12-1:30pm, on the first day of camp (Sunday) and depart from Sacramento Airport on flights departing between 11:00am-12:30 pm on their last day of camp (Saturday). Please heed these times when booking; it makes for a MUCH easier pick-up/drop-off process for camp staff and campers.
