Parents, you may want to call the airline or airport to ask if airport personnel can escort your son or daughter from the gate to the baggage claim area.  NOTE: If arriving/departing by air, UYC Camp Woodland will assign staff to transport to/from the Atlanta, GA airport.

ADDITIONAL FLIGHT ARRIVAL DETAILS: An adult who is a church member will meet campers at their airlines’ baggage claim area within 15 minutes of the scheduled arrival time. That person will hold a sign reading “UYC Camp Woodland” and may be wearing a camp shirt to identify himself/herself to campers. We cannot meet campers at the gate so please instruct your camper to wait at the baggage claim area where they will meet our camp staff. From there we will go to the van. If additional campers on other flights have not yet arrived, they will wait all together under staff supervision. We will not leave them alone.

AIRPORT DEPARTURE: We will plan to have your camper at the Airport by 10am Friday, July 28th. Please schedule your campers flight departure to allow sufficient time for them to get through the Check In process and Security. Ideally, their departure time would be between 12pm-1pm. 

ADDITIONAL FLIGHT DEPARTURE DETAILS: When returning to the airport for the trip home, a camp staff member will generally accompany campers to the security checkpoint only. If the flight is delayed substantially, canceled, or missed for any reason, the parent or guardian will be telephoned immediately and made aware of the situation. The adult at the airport will call the Camp office. The office assistant will then call the respective parent or guardian to notify them of the situation.
