AIRPORT TRANSPORTATION
The Transportation form with written instructions must be into the office 30 days prior to your camper’s arrival. It is a requirement that all parents of campers arriving and or departing through Denver International Airport (DIA) call the camp office one week prior to your camper’s flights to confirm flight information, any changes and final instructions.
GENERAL INFORMATION FOR AIR TRAVEL TO AND FROM CAMP
1. Campers MUST have a photo I.D and a ticket (MUST carry copy of e-ticket if not a paper ticket).
2. Campers are to use their “Day Pack” as described on the “What to Bring” list as their carry on. Any money, identification, tickets, medications, or paperwork must be in this carry on. Limit checked luggage to only one piece and your sleeping bag/gear as a second piece.
3. Our mini-bus service ($60 fee each way) to DIA is limited. Time spent in DIA will vary widely depending upon flight changes and delays. DIA is a 2 ½ hr. drive to/from camp. Expect a long day for departures!
4. You MUST pay the unaccompanied minor fee for both arrivals/departures in advance if your camper is 12 or under for us to accompany your camper to and from their arrival/departure gates. If your airline allows an exception to the age limit for this service, notify our office.
5. Your child is to hand over their tickets, I.D., any paperwork, money and medications to our staff upon arrival to be stored in the office.
AIRPORT ARRIVALS:
Campers arriving at DIA for camp should arrive between 10AM and 2PM MST on the day your session begins. Our staff can ONLY accompany your camper to and from their arrival/departure gates if they are 12 and under and you have paid the round trip escort service fee. CCO Staff are ONLY allowed to meet campers who have not paid for escort service at the top of the escalator on LEVEL 5 (Baggage Claim Level) by the fountain. Directions are as follows: Upon leaving the plane at the gate in DIA, follow the electronic signs overhead to “Baggage Claim/Terminal” along Concourse A, B or C to the escalator going down to the Train Level. The train will take you to the baggage claim and main terminal. De-board the train at the prompt, “Baggage Claim / Terminal”. Proceed up the escalator to Level 5 to the large fountain. Remain here (do not proceed alone to luggage carousels) and our staff member with staff shirt, nametag, and I.D. will be at the designated pick up location, greet your camper and proceed to baggage claim.
AIRPORT DEPARTURES:
All Campers leaving camp by plane will leave camp on SATURDAY mornings.
Campers departing camp by air at DIA should plan departure flights between 12PM and 3PM MST on the Saturday after your session ends (Sessions officially close on Fridays). Our staff will escort your child to the airline check-in counter and if your camper is 12 and under, accompany your child to their gate until he/she boards their flight. For campers over 12, our staff will escort your child to the check-in counter and remain with them until he/she proceeds to the main security area. Campers who will not be accompanied proceed through the main security area and down the escalator to the TRAIN and board at the prompt. They will de-board the train on the appropriate concourse by following the train’s voice prompt and continue to their departure gate. Departure gates are clearly marked. There are arrival/departure screens on each concourse that your unaccompanied camper should check and make certain that their gate assignment and departure time received at their airline check-in counter is still correct. There are restaurants, restrooms, and telephones on each concourse for your camper’s convenience.
