Alasdair Fraser's Sierra Fiddle Camp

Shuttle between the Sacramento Airport and Sierra Fiddle camp

ARRIVAL / DEPARTURE

Please arrange to arrive in Sacramento on Saturday, June 15 no later than 2:30 PM. The shuttles to camp will leave the airport for camp at 2:30 PM & 3 PM, and your flight should arrive at least 30 minutes before the shuttle departure time to allow time to get your baggage and be ready for pick-up. Camp officially begins at 4 PM, with dinner at 7 PM followed by orientation and a jam session. The shuttle ride takes just over 1.5 hours. It is very important to arrive at camp early enough to find your housing, complete registration, settle in, and be there for dinner.

Leaving camp on Sunday, June 23, you will need to leave camp a minimum of 3 hours from the time you board your plane, so stay away from flights that depart before 10 AM. (For international flights, please allow 4 hours or more.) The shuttles will leave camp for the Sacramento airport at 6:45 AM and 10 AM. We all need to leave camp by 11AM.

For campers traveling internationally, please be in contact with Heather Grove (heathergrove.music@gmail.com) directly. Flying in and out of the San Francisco International Airport may be the best option, and will require special planning. It takes 3.5 hours or more to travel from the Bay Area to camp. In some cases, it may be easier to travel the day before and after camp.

SHUTTLE COST

This year the cost for the shuttle will be $60 each way, and $120 for round trip. Please also bring a few extra dollars to tip the driver.
