Airplane

If you are arriving by plane, you will want to fly into the Portland International Airport (PDX). Overnight Camp is the only program that includes transportation to and from the airport.  We ask that campers consider the following guidelines when preparing to travel to Windells Camp:

Arrival Day

Flights should be scheduled to arrive at PDX between the hours of  8:00am and 4:00pm on the first day of camp.  During this time we will have an Airport Staff on site to greet them at baggage claim and assist campers with their luggage  and escort them to the shuttle.

Departure Day

Flights should be scheduled to depart between the hours of 8:00am and 4:00pm on the last day of camp.  Our Airport Staff will ensure that your camper arrives to the proper terminal for departure and if they are an unaccompanied minor, will escort them to the respective gate (see the below for details).

Unaccompanied Minor

If your camper is an UM we will pick them up at the gate upon arrival and escort them to the gate upon departure.  Call your airline for specific details on unaccompanied minor age requirements and program details.

Exceptions

We do offer a private shuttle if you are not able to meet the required 8:00am – 4:00pm time frame.  The shuttle fee is $55 and arrangements should be made at least 48 hours prior to the camper’s arrival to Windells.

Automobile

We are located at 59550 East Highway 26, Sandy Oregon – between Sandy and Welches.  Our campus is just off of the highway and the Windells sign is clearly visible.  If you are traveling by car or have someone dropping you off on campus, please keep in mind the following when making travel arrangements:

Arrival Day

Campers should arrive no earlier than 12:00pm on the first day of camp.

Departure Day

Campers should be picked up any time before 12:00pm on the last day of camp as there will be no supervision available after that time.  The exception is for those campers attending more than one session and staying on campus during the in-between days.

Train

If you are arriving by train, you will want to arrive by Amtrak to the Portland Union Station . Overnight Camp is the only program that includes transportation to and from the airport.  We ask that campers consider the following guidelines when preparing to travel to Windells Camp:
