If you’re flying:

• We recommend flying in and out of Atlanta (airport code ATL)
• Arrive before noon on 5/11 and depart after noon on 5/15 (this may mean you need to arrive the day before if you’re coming from the west coast!)
• We will have shuttles to and from the Camp on 5/11 and 5/15. You can purchase them here.

If you’re arriving early (or staying late!), we secured a hotel room block at the Sonesta Atlanta Airport South so you can start the festivities right away with your fellow campers!

Flying in early? Make sure you take the Sonesta Airport SOUTH shuttle to the host hotel. There’s also a North, but each shuttle is clearly marked!

As promised, we’ll have shuttles on May 11 to take you from Atlanta to Camp. The ride is about 2.5 hours, traffic dependent, and will work a little differently than at past events because we are going to do your rapid test before you come up to Camp.

First, let’s talk a little about rapid testing:

Before anyone is allowed to check in at Camp, you must take a rapid test that returns negative results. THIS IS IN ADDITION TO THE PCR REQUIREMENT THAT IS STILL IN PLACE.

IF YOU TEST POSITIVE on the rapid, we will ask that you take another PCR test (we will have some on hand), but you must be quarantined until your results are returned. 

If the PCR results come back negative, you are welcome to come to Camp! If they come back positive, you will not be permitted on site and must arrange travel home.  

To try to make this process as simple and stress free as possible, we decided to set up rapid testing at our host hotel, the Sonesta Airport South, for any camper flying in for the event. 

If your rapid results come back positive, you can stay at the hotel while you await your PCR results (and you haven’t potentially exposed a shuttle full of campers for 2.5 hours).

For anyone driving, you will test on site at Ramah Darom. If your rapid results come back positive, we have private hotel rooms available on site for you to quarantine in while you await your PCR results.

We have contracted Viral Solutions, one of the most trusted testing companies in the state, to facilitate all testing in both locations.

So for those of you flying into Atlanta, here’s how things will go down:

If you are staying at the host hotel on May 10th:

• • Normal hotel check out is at noon, so you can have a relaxing morning. 
  • Viral Solutions will be set up in a ballroom at the hotel the morning of the 11th.
  • When they’re ready, you will be the first group to get tested. 
  • The Camp shuttle will pick you up at the hotel; once you receive your negative results, you can board the shuttle and come to Camp!

If you are flying in May 11th:

• You will deplane, get your bag, maybe grab a quick bite to eat, and meet in the atrium of the Atlanta airport – just outside main security near IHOP. (Check out this map.)
• At predetermined pick up times, members of Team NF will escort you to your shuttle. You will ride that shuttle from the airport to the hotel. We recommend keeping your masks on for this short ride.
• At the hotel, you’ll leave your bags on the shuttle and file through the ballroom to get your rapid test. Upon receiving negative results, you can re-board the same shuttle and head up to Camp!
• If you’re a visual learner, I made this quick video to show you the process.

If you are driving in May 11th:

• Your process is much easier! Congrats!
• We ask that you arrive on site no earlier than noon. If you arrive earlier, you will need to wait in your car until Viral Solutions is ready to administer testing.
• You will be tested in your car and wait ~15 minutes in the parking lot until you receive negative results. At that point, you can head to Registration to check in!

For those flying in on 5/11, our official shuttle check in point is the atrium of the Atlanta airport – just outside main security near the IHOP (check out this map).

 Once you arrive, you’ll deplane, grab your bags, get a bite to eat if needed, and find CNF staff member Alyssa. She will be in a green Camp NF shirt and clipboard ready to check you in.

While you’re waiting for your shuttle time, we’ll ALSO tag any large bags with a colored tag that corresponds to your lodging area at Camp.

When you arrive at Camp, our team will help deliver your large bags directly to your cabin so you don’t have to haul them around – it’s a bit of a walk! So make sure your bag is tagged by one of our NF staff before getting on your shuttle (NOTE: if you’re staying at the Sonesta, we’ll do this at the hotel).

When everyone is accounted for, we will escort you to your shuttle. You’ll ride that shuttle from the airport to the Sonesta Airport South (4669 Airport Blvd, Atlanta, GA 30337).

Ramah Darom’s address is 70 Darom Lane, Clayton, GA 30525.

If you’re driving to Camp, please plan to arrive on site after noon.

If your family needs to get in touch with you while you’re at Camp, they can call the campground Welcome Center at: (706) 782-9300 or (706) 782-9307. A receptionist is available at the welcome center to take calls from 8AM to 12 Midnight EST. Any calls received between midnight and 8AM will be forwarded to our Camp Director’s personal room, so we ask that your friends and family use this number to get ahold of you during those hours ONLY in emergencies.

If your flight is delayed or late, you MUST get in contact with the NF staff at the airport. Alyssa’s number is 404-889-6255 and Sarah’s is 980-202-0703. If your flight is delayed, CALL OR TEXT ONE OF THEM! 

Our last shuttle departs the airport at 2:00pm, and Sarah will wait a short time to scoop up anyone whose flights were minorly delayed. With more extreme delays, renting a car may be a better option, but Sarah can talk you through options if this situation arises.
