Fernwood Cove campers depart during the morning of Tuesday, July 15 (Session One) and Tuesday, August 12 (Session Two). Similar to arrival day, there are a variety of transportation options for campers.

Driven Home

Departure Day is all about celebrating an incredible summer and sharing a little bit of the camp experience with you! When you arrive to pick up your daughter, you’ll also get the chance to explore camp on a selfguided tour—a perfect way to see where all the fun happened. Plan to arrive between 9:00 AM and 10:00 AM and we’ll have everything ready—your camper, her bags, and plenty of memories to share. The self-guided tour will be open until 12:00 PM noon. Light refreshments will be available at the Feeder for your convenience. We can’t wait to welcome you to camp and give you a glimpse into the magic your daughter has been a part of all summer!

Rookie Departure: Pickup only – no return transportation provided. Pickup at 10:30 am EST at the Fernwood Cove Office on Rookie Departure Day. Tours around camp are not available on Rookie Departure Day.

Flights Home

Fernwood Cove staff will transport campers to the airport (Portland Jetport or Boston Logan) for departing flights. Campers will be chaperoned to the gate by the Fernwood Cove staff member who will remain at the gate until they receive confirmation that the camper’s plane is in the air.  

Campers flying home must arrange to have their luggage shipped home. International campers are an exception to this policy and will carry their luggage with them throughout their travels.

Airport Drop-Off

Parents can opt for their camper to meet them at a designated location in the airport (Portland Jetport or Boston Logan) where they will continue on their travels with their parents.  

Campers meeting their parents for an airport drop-off must ship their luggage home via Ship Camps. 

Camp Buses

Fernwood Cove provides charter bus transportation to Boston Suburbs; Fairfield, CT; Portchester, NY; and Lincoln Center NYC. Fernwood Cove staff will chaperone campers and snacks will be provided. Specific details on each drop off location can be found HERE.

Campers taking camp buses home must ship their luggage home.
