Airport Transfer Information & Camp Frequently Asked Questions
For those arriving from overseas or even from the UK, the camp provides a negotiated transfer service from London Heathrow (LHR) Airport or London Gatwick (LGW) Airport to Charterhouse School, Surrey Sports Park and Bradfield College. All transfers need to be pre-arranged. Flight arrivals on Mondays between 08:00 AM – 16:00 (4:00 PM) on the first day of camp and flight departures on Sundays between 11:00 AM – 18:00 (6:00 PM) on the last day of camp.
Transfers outside of the hours mentioned above will be an additional fee, please Contact Us. Please note that the camp cannot accommodate out-of-hours transfers where players arrive at the camp after 11:00pm or need to leave the camp for a flight before 7:00am. Please see the Prices Page for more information.
We recommend morning arrivals (afternoon activities planned, see schedule on Camp Details Page) and late morning / mid-day departures (no activities planned during the departure day).
Participants must arrive on the first date of the camp and leave on the last date of the camp as mentioned on your registration.
Airport transfers booked within 21 days of the start of the camp are non-refundable.
The camp has a dedicated team of staff located at selected airports on arrival and departure days. If you book an arrival airport transfer your child will be met by a member of camp staff as they walk through to the arrivals public hall. Camp staff will be holding a Nike Camps sign in a prominent position at the front of the arrivals public area and your child will be escorted from this point all the way from the airport to the camp venue. Depending on your child’s flight time, there may be a short wait at the airport for other players to arrive during which time full supervision is given.
On the departure day, camp staff will help your child to the check-in at the airport. Camp staff may also make arrangements to transfer your child to the airline’s unaccompanied minor service if you mention this during registration.
