- Questions? Post them on the forum and get answers from the staff and other campers.
- Bike Rental info - College Station is a quiet, peaceful location, so there's not much in the way of bike rentals. We are working with some local bike shops now to see what we can do. But, if you want to take full advantage of camp and work with your own bike, make sure to bring it.
- Airport - Our aiport is called "Easterwood Field" and has the call sign of CLL. People often fly there through Dallas, Houston, or Austin.
