FLYING TO CAMP
The camp has traditionally provided a pickup and drop-off service for campers from the Atlanta airport by volunteers (local chess parents). Over the years more and more campers are coming from outside the Atlanta area requiring more airport transportation runs with fewer local volunteers.
For 2024, we will work with a professional event transportation company to provide transportation. We will continue to accommodate campers flying as Unaccompanied Minors. Details will be announced in early January. Note that there will be an additional fee for the service.
PARKING
