The first camp activity is 6 pm on Monday and the final activity will end on Sunday at noon.

If you plan to drive to the camp, go to the “Location & Directions” link to get driving directions. Plan to arrive at camp on Monday between 1 pm and 5 pm.

If you’re flying to Texas for camp, the closest major airports are San Antonio International Airport and Laredo International Airport. You’ll probably find a wider selection of flights at a better price to San Antonio airport, but you may want to check both airport options.

If flying into San Antonio, your flight needs to arrive on Monday morning or early afternoon—before 1 pm. Your departure flight needs to leave on Sunday no earlier than 5:30 pm. If your best options for flights (due to cost savings or time schedule) require you to come in a day earlier or stay a day later, we’ll arrange free overnight housing with host families in the San Antonio area. Contact us directly with any questions and/or to arrange overnight housing.

If flying into Laredo, your flight will need to arrive on Monday morning or afternoon—before 4 pm. Your flight out should leave on Sunday no earlier than 2 pm. We are not able to offer free overnight housing before or after camp in Laredo, but there are hotels near the airport.

We offer a shuttle service at both airports to transport you to and from camp. We’ll contact you in advance of your flight to make arrangements. Cost for this service is $5 each way (payable when you arrive).


*** Once you’ve been accepted to camp and as soon as you’ve made your travel arrangements, you’ll need to complete the Travel Plans form and return it to the camp at least two weeks before camp starts. ***

PASSPORTS and Personal Identification Documents: Very Important Information!!

Is a passport required for our camp travels into Mexico?


NO, a passport is not required for U.S. citizens to travel by land into Mexico. (Passports are required at this time only if traveling by air or sea). There is a proposed law that will in the near future require passports or special travel ID cards for land travel into Mexico; it is not scheduled to be in effect by the time of camp this year.
For this summer you will need to provide (when you arrive at camp) proper currently-accepted identity documentation to cross the border. Don’t wait till the last minute to confirm proper travel documents. You will not be allowed to travel into Mexico without proper documents.

EITHER of the following is acceptable. Notice that option #2 requires two documents:

(1) a valid passport, OR

(2) a state-issued photo ID (driver's license or photo ID card from DMV) AND proof of U.S. citizenship by a document such as a certified copy of a U.S. birth certificate, a Naturalization Certificate, a Consular Report of Birth Abroad, or a Certificate of Citizenship. [If using a birth certificate, note that a certified copy is NOT merely a photocopy of the original. A certified copy is obtained from your county (or state) of birth, and will have a legal stamping or embossing on the certificate].
