Getting to MMR

Drop-Off @ Camp

This affords you the chance to see camp, meet the staff, and help your camper get settled. Many families choose to make a weekend road trip out of it by visiting nearby Lake Tahoe or Lassen Volcanic National Park. 

Drop-Off @ RNO

We offer a chartered bus to and from the RNO airport for a small fee. This option is for campers only – families say their goodbyes at the airport. The bus is fully staffed for safety and fun!

Solo Flight to RNO

For the independent traveler, we are able to pick-up campers of any age (UM or otherwise) directly at their arrival gate in RNO. From here, they’ll take the bus back to camp. There are a variety of convenient and direct flights out of SFO and OAK.
