Out of State

Flights into Colorado

We can accommodate camper pick-up and drop off for flights arriving and departing from Denver International Airport (DIA). 

• We ask that families plan arrival and departure times between 9:30 am MST and 12:30 pm MST. 
• Southwest has the most flexible approach for unaccompanied minors. 
• It is important that your camper is never left alone in the airport at any time. We will arrange for a staff member to accompany them from the moment they step off the plane to getting back on it, by using escort passes to go through security and meet campers directly.  
• Most airlines consider ages 17 and under as unaccompanied minors and will be required to fly with a special tag that costs an additional fee. Southwest airlines allows children over 11 to pass this requirement. Unaccompanied minors MUST designate this on their travel forms and ask you to provide contact information. Please call us for this temporary contact information, which you will need to update 48 hours before the flight. 

Driving to Colorado

Those living in neighboring states might choose to drive instead of fly. We recommend using Google Maps or the driving directions listed in the parent manual, as we’ve ensured these both are correct.
