There is no shuttle service from San Francisco or Oakland Airport to the Mendocino dance camp. If you indicate on the registration form that you need a ride, our hospitality coordinator Andrea Lehrer will contact you a few weeks before camp to arrange transportation from a local dancer. You can also rent a car at either of the airports.
