Luggage Shipment:
Buses are able to take one large duffle bag per camper, so please arrange for all other luggage to be shipped. We suggest shipping your daughter's linens, so that her bed can be made up before her arrival.

Airport arrival:
Campers will be picked up at the Rhinelander, WI airport for a fee of $25. Please make airline reservations as soon as possible for opening and closing days and be sure to ask about unaccompanied minor policies for all campers under age 15. Flights should arrive by 11 a.m. Opening Day as campers are involved in activities after lunch. Departures can be scheduled anytime after 9am on Closing Day. If your daughter is flying to camp, she will need a carry-on bag with a change of clothes, sneakers, a bathing suit and a towel. If she is traveling with a cell phone or other electronics, upon arrival at camp they will be taken by her counselor and placed in the Director’s office and will be returned at the end of the camp session.
Automobile arrival:
Parents who drive their daughters to Red Pine should plan to arrive at camp between 9 am and 12 pm on Opening Day. Please park in the fields by the tennis courts. There you will be greeted by a member of the staff and taken to the office for check-in and to meet Executive Director, Connie Scholfield. All girls must then check-in with the nurses in the Infirmary. Parents and siblings are invited to join all campers for a buffet style lunch at the Lodge. Your daughter’s luggage will be taken to her assigned cabin and her bunk will be made by one of her counselors while you enjoy lunch together. We do ask that after lunch, you say cheerful good-byes and leave by 2 pm. The girls will be involved in activities that afternoon.
