Traveling to Camp...
RGC will provide chaperones from Juneau to Haines and back, but you are responsible for getting your child to camp from other areas. Be sure to purchase ferry tickets to and from camp for your child. Though RGC will be chaperoning to Haines and back, you are responsible for purchasing tickets.
Here is the information you will need to coordinate your child's travel this summer.
Once you have sent in a registration form for camp, you will receive more helpful information in the mail as to who else is traveling from your community and who your community contact person is who will be helping families arrange travel from your community to camp.
