TRAVEL
INFORMATION
As long as you arrive and depart at Vancouver Airport
between 11 AM and 3 PM on the camp start and finish
dates, our staff will meet you at your gate or as you
come out of customs from an international flight. On
the end date of a camp, we bring all departing campers
to the airport by 9:30 AM.
If possible, you should schedule your departing flight
to leave as early as 11:30 AM (but no later than 3 PM)
so that you don't have to hang out at the airport with
us for too long (you'll probably go crazy with envy
while you meet all the new campers just starting their
week).
Anyone that needs to arrive or depart outside the arrival/departure
days and times can see the upgrades on our sign-up form
or make special arrangements with us. If you are thinking
of driving to Whistler, you are welcome to meet us at
the airport during our scheduled pickup and drop-off
times. Whistler is only a 2hr drive from Vancouver via
Highway 99 which runs straight to Whistler.
Young Campers Traveling Alone to Camp
We
have many young campers that travel
alone to our camp. You can request "Unaccompanied
Minor" service from all the airlines.
They will make sure that your child
stays in the care of the Airlines until
the approved pickup person picks up
the child at the other end. You would
simply register the Dave Murray Summer
Ski and Snowboard
Camp as the receiving party. The cost
is minimal and some airlines do this
for free. You can also request the same
service for the return portion so that
they stay with airline staff right from
when we check them in on the departure
day.
Minors traveling alone to our camp should carry our
travel form
For information on travel documents required by US
citizens please visit: the US
State Department

From Vancouver, access to Whistler,
which is 120km (75 miles) north on Highway 99, is available
by car, limousine, van, scheduled bus, train, or chartered
helicopter/float plane.
