Flight Information

When booking flights please book them on a morning departure, arriving at Atlanta International Airport in Atlanta GA between 1:00 pm and 5pm THE DAY BEFORE OPENING DAY OF THE SESSION YOU ARE ATTENDING.  This will ensure they arrive at camp in time to begin activities on opening day with the other campers.  Your camper will be met by a Riverview Camp staff member immediately upon their arrival at ‘International Arrivals’ after they go through customs. We will call you when we meet them and again when they arrive at camp.  Departure flights at the end of the session (last day of camp) should leave between 11:00 am and 3pm from Atlanta, GA. The $300 transportation fee covers a one-way travel from Atlanta to Camp or to Atlanta from Camp.  This includes airport transportation and chaperone service and a meal in transit to or from camp as needed. After completing the online camper application, please complete the reservation form for Airport pickup/return and ground transportation.
