SURVIVORS BOOTCAMP & DC MISSION
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: What airport should I fly into and will Survivors provide airport transportation?
Washington National Airport (DCA) is the preferred airport and is easiest to get to and from. Survivors will provide airport pick-up and drop-off for all participants under the age of 18 as long as it is into DCA. For those 18+ years old, we will make arrangements for pick up or drop off if possible; if not we will give you clear instructions for an Uber or Metro trains. The next best option is the Baltimore Airport (BWI) and is further away but tends to have cheaper flights. There is also an inexpensive train service from BWI and Union Station in DC. If you have a flight into Dulles International Airport (IAD) we will try to assist with airport transportation, but cannot guarantee it.
