International Campers
I'm going to Riverview!
Hear what some of our international campers say!
Next Steps
Whatever your choice, we make sure the girls know where to go, what to do, and how the Riverview schedule works. New campers quickly embrace the Riverview spirit and have the “home away from home” feeling that is a natural part of Riverview! We call it “The Power of Riverview.”
This page will help answer questions you may have about the summer. If you still have questions please contact us.

Flight Information When booking flights please book them on a morning departure, arriving at Atlanta International Airport in Atlanta, GA between 1:00 pm and 5:00 pm THE DAY BEFORE OPENING DAY OF THE SESSION THEY ARE ATTENDING. This will ensure they arrive at camp in time to begin activities on opening day with the other campers. They will be met by a Riverview Camp staff member immediately upon arrival at ‘International Arrivals’ after going through customs. We will call parents when we meet them and again when they arrive at camp. Departure flights at the end of the session (last day of camp) should leave between 11:00 am and 3:00 pm from Atlanta, GA. The $300 transportation fee covers a one-way travel from Atlanta to Camp or to Atlanta from Camp. This includes airport transportation and chaperone service and a meal in transit to or from camp as needed. After completing the online camper application, please complete the reservation form for Airport pickup and/or return and ground transportation.

Communication You can easily write to your daughter by email through our website. Please call us at the office with any questions 256-634-4043. Please make sure we have a cell phone number to reach you. If your child brings a cell phone, we will keep it at the office and return it to her before she leaves at the end of her session! We will provide you with the name and phone number of the senior staff assigned to pick up your child. Please make sure your child also has this name and number along with her passport, ticket/e-ticket, emergency money, and a permission letter from you authorizing your child to travel on their own. All of these items will be placed in the camp safe once your child arrives. If your child is a minor you will be required by the airline to pay an unaccompanied minor fee to the airline. If she is unaccompanied on the flight home please be sure this fee is paid in advance. Riverview will not be responsible for this fee. Please contact us anytime you have questions!
