Pick-up service:  Suffice now to say, we send you the pickup person's picture and phone the night before, triple-confirm everything, and create a text chain with the family, student, pick up person, and Program director.  The assigned staffer will meet your student at the airport, make sure they have all their stuff, and take a cab/uber straight to camp, being in communication the whole time.

Drop-off service: If you choose this option, on the last day of the program, schedule. flight around noon and your pre-college engineering student will be escorted back to the airport, we make sure they are checked in and through security, and our staff member will remain at the airport until their flight goes wheel-up; just in case the flight is cancelled or massively delayed, we are there to provide the support you would want your child to have.  Many more details available after registration.

Airport Pick-up/Drop-off service cost: $95 one way, $175 both ways
