Travel and Hotel Information

When Traveling to and from Softball Camps, lots of questions can come up. We'd like to help you out as much as possible and answer any camp travel questions you have about traveling to and from our USFC camps!

We are always available for any questions via e-mail or phone.

Q. How do I get there? And where do I stay?

. Depending on the location and affiliate, you will be sent a welcome packet once you sign up that will list exactly what you need to do once you arrive at the airport. For players under the age of 14, we recommend you pay the extra fee for a camp representative to sign for your child. In this case, one of our representatives will sign for the player at baggage claim from the airline employee. You will need to provide airline with the name(s) of the adult from the camp that will meet the player(s) at the airport pickup.

Contact us prior to departure at 888-560-CAMP or email Sandi at sandi@softballcamps.com and we will give you the name of the USFC representative that will be at the airport for pickup.

Q. What travel time should I allow for camp based on your posted start and end dates?

The dates posted on the website are actual start and end days. Where applicable, we have shown actual end times so that you can plan accordingly. If you are in doubt, please contact us and we'll assist you with your travel arrangements.

Call us at 888-560-CAMP or email Sandi at sandi@softballcamps.com

Q. What if I can not make the arrival or departure times shown in the travel recommendations on the website?

Depending on the camp location you are attending, most locations offer some type of airport pick up, but not all. If you can not make the times, that's not a major issue. We are just trying to pick up as many players from the airport around the same time as possible. Just let us know your plans in advance, and we will do our best to accommodate you. On departure days please try to have the players leave prior to 1pm, and try not to take the first flight out. It can be very difficult to coordinate a large group at the airport for a 6am flight.

Keep in mind that today, you are required to arrive at the airport approximately two hours prior to your flight. An early morning departure requires us to leave the hotel around 3:30am to get to a 6am flight!

Q. Staying with parents? What does that mean?

Depending on which location or affiliate location you have signed up with, If a participant is traveling with parents and staying in their hotel room they are considered "staying with parents" and in some cases have a bit different rate. Usually that option is available when you sign up for that discount. If not available, please contact us for other options.

At some locations your transportation to and from camp each day, meals and all activities are all included in your price - just not the hotel room.

Any questions please call 888-560-CAMP or email Sandi at sandi@softballcamps.com

Q. Do you have any discounts on hotel, airline or local attractions?

Yes, all of our partner hotels offer discounts to parents. We have arranged discounted airfare and rental cars at each location. Contact us for more information on a particular location.

You can contact us anytime at 888-560-CAMP or email Sandi at sandi@softballcamps.com

Q. By when do I need to provide USFC with my flight information so that you can arrange airport pickup?

Please make sure you forward your flight information to us at least a couple weeks before the camp starts if we are picking you up at the airport.

Please note, not all locations provide airport pickup.

Forward your itinerary to Sandi at sandi@softballcamps.com or give us a call at 888-560-CAMP.

Q. Once I sign up, do I need to reserve the hotel or do you guys handle that?

In some locations, we have made prior arrangements with our partner hotels so that you can reserve the hotel yourself. If you are attending a camp as an overnighter your room will be taken care of by USFC staff. If you are registered as a "staying w/parent player" you will need to call USFC at 888-560-CAMP for parent rooms discounts. Day campers will not be provided hotel rooms. All of the reservation information will be located in your welcome packet once you sign up.

With some affiliates this service is not available and depends on the location you have signed up for.

Q. Do the campers swim or have a pool to swim in?

Yes, most locations do have a heated swimming pool. During free time, campers are allowed to swim. Ask your director once you sign up if your location has a pool.

Please keep in mind that we do not supply a lifeguard at any of our camps (that's a bit out of our area of expertise). Campers swim at their own risk, as USFC or our affiliates are not responsible for any swimming injuries.
