Dear CODA Member,

We know that with camp getting closer and everyone focusing on preparing for the summer and hiring a few more counselors. We wanted to remind you of the early bird discount to save you some money and let you know there are only a few more spots available.

Here’s a little more information about the tour and logistics.

What are the dates of the tour?

The camp tours begin the afternoon of Monday, September 9th until the evening of Wednesday, September 11th. More travel details are provided below, but we recommend that attendees plan for the entire trip to be from September 9th-12th.

How will travel work?

For those who will be flying to the fall tour, please plan on flying into Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta airport. Please plan your arrival before 12:30 pm on Monday, September 9th. The bus will depart the airport at 1:00 pm to ensure we arrive at the hotel with enough time for check in before our first camp tour.

If you plan on driving your own car and meeting everyone at the hotel, please plan on meeting everyone at McLemore, 32 Clubhouse Lane, Rising Fawn, GA 30738. Please plan on arriving at the hotel no later than 3:30 pm EST.

We’ll have a charter bus to transport attendees throughout the trip. While most camps are relatively close, we will have one camp on the tour a little over an hour away. We know that some attendees may opt to travel on their own by car.
