Transportation
Do you provide transportation to camp?
- No. Transportation to camp is the responsibility of the parent/guardian.
If I elect to have my child fly to camp, what is the nearest airport to which they would need to fly into?
- The Asheville Airport - regardless of attendance at Lutheridge or Lutherock. The Asheville Airport is approximately 2 miles from Lutheridge and approximately 1½ - 2 hours from Lutherock. However, the Federal Aviation Administration has recently imposed very strict guidelines on unaccompanied minors being picked up by camp organizations. Please check these policies before booking flights for your camper.
Do you have an airport pickup service?
- Yes. We must have a copy of the itinerary sent to us in writing at least 3 weeks prior to arrival. We will pick up your child when they arrive and will also drop them off when they need to return to the airport. There is no cost for this service (unless your child is a Lutherock camper - see next section).
If my child is going to Lutherock and flying into the airport, how will they get to the Lutherock site considering it is approximately 2 hours away?
- Your child would need to arrive at the airport no later than 2:30 pm on the Sunday that their camp week begins. They would then be brought to Lutheridge at which time they would be moved to the Lutherock shuttle. This shuttle leaves at 3:30 pm and returns on the following Saturday around 11:00 am. Therefore, their flight out should not be scheduled to leave any earlier than 12:30 pm on the Saturday that their camp week ends. There is a cost for the Lutherock shuttle transportation of $75.00 round trip ($40 one-way - if your child was only flying in or out, but not both). The Lutherock shuttle space is very limited, so we ask that you check on that availability prior to booking your child's flight reservations.
My child is going to Lutherock, but I really need assistance in getting them there. Do you have a shuttle that could assist with this?
- Yes. The shuttle that is offered to airport arrivals going to Lutherock (see above) is the same that is offered to campers that are driven to camp. The parent/guardian would still be responsible for getting them to Lutheridge. The shuttle would then take them the rest of the way to Lutherock. The shuttle leaves at 3:30 pm sharp! Therefore, it is imperative that you have your child at Lutheridge prior to that time. The shuttle returns to Lutheridge the following Saturday around 11:00 am. You would need to be at Lutheridge by that time to pick up your child. The cost for this option is $75.00 round trip or $40.00 one-way. Reservations MUST be made in advance, and they are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Space is very tight and fills very quickly! To make a shuttle reservation, please email our Registrar, Stacey Coleman, at scoleman@llmi.org.
