GENERAL INFORMATION
Proud Sponsor of the
Nationals Drill Camp
Schreiner University
Regardless of how you travel to the NDC, it is important that you know a few simple things. First, you entire camp experience depends on you GETTING TO THE CAMP SAFELY! If you are driving yourself or having others take you, please drive safely and take breaks during your trip to reduce the chance of fatigue!

Second, please ensure you book your travel into and out of camp on the correct days and at times that will allow you to enjoy your experience. Cadets should plan if at all possible to arrive at the NDC no later than 4pm local time. This will give you the chance to attend the opening night dinner and camp orientation briefing, as well as the activities and discussions that occur that evening to get to know your fellow camper a bit before we hit the ground running the next day.

When departing, cadets can leave late the final night but we strongly advise against that. The final night is the last night to do things with the campers and every cadet has stated they loved their final night experiences. On their departure, understand that ground shuttle service times will dictate what flights may be available for your travel. Campers should try to leave in the mid-morning timeframe (before noon) to ensure that weather or any flight cancellations will allow re-booking on another flight that same day. Those departing by car need to be picked up before noon.

Traveling by car poses several obvious advantages, the largest likely being a reduced cost to attend as well as the ability to easily transport your drill rifle to the camp if you choose to bring it. If traveling by air, please ensure you understand the airlines policy on additional baggage fees, as well as costs and restrictions on transporting your non-functional drill rifle. Make sure to call the airline to ask what their policies are regarding your weapon.

Travel Information on the Nationals Drill Camp
TEXAS

Schreiner University is in Kerrville, Texas only an hour northwest of San Antonio. It is easy to get to via car, airplane or bus with major highway travel from throughout the entire state of Texas and San Antonio airport.

Attendees may fly into San Antonio International Airport (SAT). Keep in mind that you will need to pay an additional round-trip shuttle service fee for the hour drive each way. To book this shuttle you need to go through SNI at 800-327-9311. If you need any assistance with your airline tickets, you can contact our official travel center for the Western NDC, A-M Travel at 979-693-2143 and speak with Wanda Paris.

If you wish to book travel yourself, we have found the best rates and service on-line on Orbitz and on the individual airline websites. Cadets should also check many of the discount airlines that do not list with Orbitz (such as Sun Country, JetBlue, Southwest, SkyBus, and Allegiant).

Sports Network works with a local travel agency in Texas that has an impeccable reputation and can ensure all of your travel needs are handled without issue. They book most all of the airline travel for attendees. It is not required that you book any air travel or transportation through them, but we recommend contacting them if you need any of these services for problem-free attendance. The name of the company is A-M Travel at 979-693-2143 - we work with Wanda Paris.

For bus travel, there is but one national sourcse for ground travel coast-to-coast and that is Greyhound. They serve areas across the nation including Kerrville, Texas (home of the NDC). If you take the greyhound bus to the NDC, the SNIYF will arrange free shuttle service to/from the bus station in Kerrville to the camp as the bus station is just minutes from the campus - however, this does need to be arranged by you in advance.

The address for the main entrance to campus is 2100 Memorial Blvd, Kerrville, TX 78028 for those driving to the camp. You will find detailed informaiton in your NDC Folder (after you register) that will direct you to the building being used for registration.
