Flying Here

If you are flying from one of the cities that Westjet services in Canada or the USA, we highly recommend that you fly with Westjet. In our 23 years of camp they have the only "Never lost a bag" record". Their on time arrivals and departures are the best as well. It's amazing how a lost bag can ruin a campers trip. So if you can fly Westjet.

Fly into Vancouver International Airport (YVR) and we will transport you and your baggage in our privately chartered 52 passenger buses, directly to The Dorm. The resort of Whistler is approximately a 2hr 30min bus ride from the city of Vancouver, located in British Columbia, Canada.

The transport to Whistler is included with the "Day Camp" and "Overnight Camp" for the camper, but you must arrive and depart within our scheduled times. If you are a "Park Access Only" camper, this can be added as an option at anytime to your registration. Please take time to read the important travel details below. Send us camper arrival and departure details as soon as you have them, saving us all stress the week before camp starts.

Note the following:

1. If you have concerns about your under age camper traveling alone you can check them in at the airport as an "un-accompanied minor". You may have to pay the airline a fee for the service but it's money well spent. They sign for your camper when you check him or her in and then deliver them to us at this end where we sign for them. It's great for parental peace of mind. There's no chance of the camper to get lost. They also help the camper though customs and getting their bags as well so the entire journey for the camper is an enjoyable non-stress trip. It also takes parental stress out of the travel day.
2. The child traveling also may require a Notarized Permission Letter for Minors to Travel from both parents to leave the country. If they don't have it you know it will be the one time the customs official or airline check in agent asks for it.
3. Make sure the child has the correct documents for travel, passport (or photo ID & original birth certificate if you are from Canada). Make sure your child can be released to camp staff in Vancouver Airport.
4. There also may be issues if the parents are divorced. For instance, if the child only has only ONE parent's written permission and not the other.

Each airline has different rules and regulations so please consult them directly.

YOUR DEPARTURE DAY IS THURSDAY ONLY IF YOU ARE A 5 DAY CAMPER.

When booking your flight back home, schedule your departure after 11am.

The closer you can schedule your departure after 11am the better, so that you don't have to spend much time hanging at the airport with our staff waiting for your flight.Everyone is shuttled down to the airport so they are there by 9:00 AM so if you book your flight home for 3PM it's a long day. Try and depart as close to 11 AM as possible.
