Camp Ozark offers fully staffed charter bus service to and from the Little Rock Airport. Parents may book flights on the airline of their choice in accordance with Camp Ozark’s departure and arrival windows. Upon arrival, all campers are greeted by Camp Ozark Staff and escorted to our charter buses for transport to Camp Ozark. Camp Ozark luggage personnel are on hand to load luggage into the luggage bays once identified by each camper at the baggage claim. Incomparable Airport Experience Our goal is to make the travel experience convenient and incomparable. Camp Ozark staff is on hand at the Little Rock Airport for all arrivals and departures. Each camper is met at the gate (as long as permitted) upon arrival and escorted to the baggage claim area by Camp Ozark personnel. Charter buses park in close proximity to the baggage claim area and are monitored and supervised by Camp Ozark Staff. Also, camp luggage staff is on hand to assist campers with moving their luggage from the carousels to the charter bus. Travel manifests are generated from information provided in the travel section of each camper’s myOzark account. Please make sure the flight information provided is accurate and correct. Travel Staff Training As part of our staff training and orientation, staff are trained on their travel supervisory responsibilities including travel safety, health, camper monitoring, emergency procedures and check-in/check-out protocols. In addition, all of our staff carry personal cell phones and camp families can track bus arrival times using Camp Ozark patented Info Stream found on the camper dashboard of your myOzark account or by downloading the “Camp Ozark Go” iPhone app for free at the iTunes app store. Electronics Restrictions Due to privacy concerns and to create an incomparable experience free and “un-tethered” from electronics, transmittable devices such as cell phones or tablets with data plans are not permitted at Camp Ozark. Non-transmittable devices such as iPod, mp3 players or tablets without data plans, are permitted while traveling but are not permitted once at Camp Ozark. Upon arrival, all electronic devices are labeled and secured and delivered back to the camper at the end of the camp session. However, campers who fly are allowed to bring cell phones for convenience of communication in route to and from Camp Ozark. Meals Camp Ozark provides lunch and a snack (where applicable) for campers traveling home from camp. Sub sandwiches are provided to all campers upon departure from camp. Transportation to the airport is supplied with sanitization supplies and bottled water for camper use. Flight Delays Camp Ozark will make best efforts to communicate with parents regarding flight delays for departing campers; however we ask each parent or guardian to monitor their camper’s flight status. In the case of a flight delay, of course our staff members will supervise, monitor and assist the parent or guardian in making alternative arrangements for each camper. With regard to inbound flight delays, we ask that each parent or guardian notify the Camp Ozark office as soon as they are aware of any change in schedule. Unaccompanied Minors While Unaccompanied Minor (UA) policies vary by airline, typically they apply to children under the age of 12 flying alone or not traveling with an accompanying passenger over the age of 12. It is the parent or guardians responsibility to understand and comply with UA policies based on the airline of choice, including payment of any and all UA fees. In most cases, airlines require contact information for the pick-up designee at the arrival airport. Information regarding the Camp Ozark Staff designee is sent out approximately two weeks in advance and can otherwise be found by contacting the Camp Ozark office (assignments typically finalized in May). UA policies do not apply to those traveling on staffed flights on Southwest from Houston, Dallas, or Austin.

Luggage Tags We request that luggage be restricted to two (2) pieces, a trunk and a duffle. In addition, campers may bring a small carry on such as a back-pack or satchel. In most cabins, trunks are stored under bunks and cannot exceed 15 ½” in height. For those traveling by bus or plane, luggage tags are mailed around two weeks prior to the beginning of each camp session. Please be sure to clearly mark and tag each piece of luggage with these tags. Upon arrival, Camp Ozark Staff will unload and assist campers with their luggage.
