Travel By Plane
Participants traveling by air should fly into the Ithaca Airport. USAirways and Northwest Airlines are the only air travel providers at this airport. Participants may also fly into Syracuse Airport, but this airport is one hour from Ithaca and participants must arrange for their own transportation from Syracuse to Ithaca. Camp staff will meet campers at the Ithaca Airport and transport them by car or mini-van to the camp. We will also accompany campers to the Ithaca Airport as needed upon their departure.
