Travel Frequently Asked Questions

Is it ok to book the 6am flight for my child’s departure on the final day of camp?

Absolutely! In fact, the majority of our campers leave on the 6 am flight.

There are no travel options to get my child to Sitka by 3 pm on the first day of camp. Is it better to have my child arrive late on the first day or to come a day early?

It is better for students to arrive later on the first day of camp. Your child’s counselor will make sure he or she is caught up with orientation and that any auditions are rescheduled. If it is not possible to arrive on the first day of camp and your child must come a day early, please be sure to indicate the arrival day and time on the travel form as well as email the office at office(at)fineartscamp.org. There is a $50 fee for students who arrive a day early.

SFAC provides complimentary shuttle service for the following Alaska Airline flights: arrival on flights 62, 63, and 67 and departure on flights 62, 68, and 73 on the scheduled arrival and departure days. We will announce the status of complimentary shuttle service for ferry passengers in May. Please make sure you fill out the Travel Form to let the camp office know when and how your student is arriving. It is your responsibility to provide SFAC with this information. For students arriving at other times, please contact our office for information on shuttle and taxi services.
