Shuttle Service

[Picture of a Bus]

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

We will send an e-mail to registered campers to ask about your transportation needs, dietary restrictions, medical needs, etc.

I appreciate the friendliness of the BACDS organizers. Makes first timers feel welcome. [I] enjoyed the little extras—coffee bar, dress-up, costuming, etc.
