The camp telephone # is 802-656-1709. It will be active from 9 am EDT on June 29 to 5 pm on July 28. The MathPath office is in the dormitory (Buckham Hall, 71 Colchester Ave, which is the building located just in front of the parking area, as seen on the campus map). The check-in is at the front desk in Buckham Hall.

Arrival by car
Check-in for those arriving by car is from 10 am to 4 pm at Buckham Hall. The procedure is to park the car in the designated parking lot (as shown on the campus map; note: on the campus map North is to the left) and walk with student to the check-in desk at Buckham Hall. Here the student receives the room assignment and room key and any parent leaving the car overnight in the parking lot picks up a free parking sticker. Then proceed to the student's assigned room to familiarize yourselves with its location in the building. Then go back to the parking lot to gather luggage. See the campus map.

Here are the instructions for reaching the designated parking lot:
• From I-89 North or South: Take Exit 14W. Proceed 1 mile west on Route 2 (Williston Road, which becomes Main Street) to campus. Turn right onto East Avenue. Next turn left onto Colchester Ave. Finally Turn left as if you are going to the campus' hospital, taking another right at the stop sign. Keep right, reaching the back parking area of Buckham Hall.
• From north or south on Route 7: Enter Burlington from either direction. Turn onto Main Street (Route 2 East). Turn left onto University Place. Next turn right onto Colchester Ave. Finally Turn right as if you are going to the campus' hospital, taking another right at the stop sign. Keep right, reaching the back parking area of Buckham Hall.
• From the Adirondack Northway (I-87): Take Exit 20. Proceed north on Route 9 to Route 149, headed to Fort Ann, N.Y. In Fort Ann, take Route 4 North to Route 22A in Vermont (not Route 22 in New York). Follow Route 22A through Vergennes, then follow Route 7 North into Burlington. Turn right onto Main Street (Route 2 East). Turn left onto University Place. Next turn right onto Colchester Ave. Finally turn right as if you are going to the campus' hospital, taking another right at the stop sign. Keep right, reaching the back parking area of Buckham Hall.

Arrival by air
The arrival airport is the Burlington International Airport(BTV). Non-stop flights are available from the following cities: Atlanta, Baltimore, Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Detroit, New York City (JFK), New York City (LaGuardia), Newark, Orlando, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C. (National Airport), and Washington, D.C. (Dulles Airport). In order to keep down travel cost, shorten travel time, and make the long travel from the West to Vermont less tedious, please ensure to book flights using the MathPath Meeting Code on United Airlines - the official airline of MathPath 2008 - on itinerary recommended by MathPath. The Meeting Code will be given to enrolled students and parents. Please ensure to leave seats unassigned at booking. MathPath will contact United Airlines to assign seating so that the students sit together on the flights from and to the major Western cities.

All students arriving by plane (or by bus or train) are asked to schedule their arrival to be between 9am and 5pm, except arrivals as late as 9pm will be accepted for students arriving by air from the west coast. If you absolutely must make other arrangements, it will be your responsibility to get from the airport or station to camp.

All students travelling by air, unless accompanied by parents or relatives, must wear a red bandana around their neck as they disembark. The students will be received at the airport by the MathPath Welcome Party and a Welcome Party member will sign the airline's release form for the student. The Welcome Party will be holding up a placard saying MathPath.

The airport pickup is organized so that the student should not have to wait even a minute to be greeted by the Welcome Party. The arriving students may be taken by camp staff to a holding area where students relax or play board games with other students until taken in a van or bus to the camp. Other details of the pickup procedure are described in the Pre-camp Briefing mailed to all students. You do not have to worry at all about getting lost. This is because you are arriving either accompanied or as "Unaccompanied Minor." In the latter case, the airline delivers you to the Welcome Party and obtains our release signature. In addition, Burlington is a very manageably sized airport.

RETURNING HOME
Departure day is Sunday July 27. All families using public transportation are asked to schedule the departure (air, bus or train) between 9am and noon. (Earlier departures will keep both students and staff from having breakfast, and later departures will delay the major staff effort to begin closing down camp.)On Sunday, July 27, the students who will be flying home according to this plan will be taken to the airport. The staff will be with each student until after the student has been released to the airline's staff and the student has boarded the flight. Parents will be contacted about any delayed or cancelled flights. Staff will reschedule the travel of returning students affected by cancelled flights and the parents will be informed.

If you absolutely must depart camp at other times, it will be your responsibility to get from camp to the airport or station.
