Getting to MMR from SoCal
Drop-Off @ Camp
This affords you the chance to see camp, meet the staff, and help your camper get settled. Many families choose to fly to RNO, rent a car, and make a weekend out of the trip 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 many affordable, convenient, and direct flights out of SoCal airports to RNO.
