By Air
Monterey Airport (12 miles from campus) is served only by United Airlines. Rental cars and taxis are available, and NCFC provides students who travel alone with a ride service to camp. Students traveling alone can also request special services from the airline, such as pre-boarding, seating towards the front of the aircraft, or an escort from plane to plane if you are changing flights mid-way. Most airlines charge a small fee for minors ages 12-16 for this service. Please inquire with the airline for more information on these services.
Ride Service from Monterey Airport NCFC will provide transportation from the Monterey Airport to campus for students who travel by air alone. In order to arrange for this, you must complete and return the enclosed itinerary form no later than July 1st. Likewise, we can provide rides back to the Monterey airport on the last day of camp.
