Two roads diverged in a wood and I —
I took the one less travelled by,
and that has made all the difference.

There are several ways and conveyances that one can travel to Camp Cretaceous, the Project Site:
by van or car from Keene, TX
Generally, most students will travel in a university vehicle leaving the Southwestern Adventist University campus and after about 21 hours of
driving arriving at the project site.
Students and others who wish to "caravan" with the university transportation are welcome to do so.
by car from some other place
Specific directions to the Project Site are available to those who have made arrangements and have scheduled their arrival and departure times.
In all cases where a private vehicle is driven to the Project site, the
expectations are:
| non-credit participants |
| | must notify one of the Project Directors before driving the vehicle away from the camp site |
| |
| credit earning participants |
| | must request permission from one of the Project Directors in order to drive the vehicle away from the camp site |
by air
The closest major airport is in Rapid City, SD.
If you notify one of the Project Directors with date, time, and flight information, then arrangements can be made to pick you up at the Rapid City airport,
which is about 2.5 hours from Camp Cretaceous.
Arrangements can also be made to take you to this airport.
Keep in mind that a trip to the airport and return involves about 5 hours for the driver.
We are happy to do this, but it is helpful if airport runs could be somewhat combined.
In addition:
- We would prefer not to make an airport trip on Saturday.
- Departures before 9:00am Rapid City time (MDT) creates real difficulties—a 9:00am departure means leaving Camp Cretaceous by 6:00am Camp time (CDT) to get you to the airport 1.5 hours before departure.
- Departures on the last day, Thursday, should be scheduled in the late afternoon.
As you plan your air trip, please check the current schedule and/or contact the Project Directors. They would know if someone else is flying in or out near the time you are planning.
It may not be possible to adjust your arrival and departure times and dates (without a significant increase in cost), but it would be appreciative if a simple change could allow two or more participants to make the same trip to or from the airport.
