Luggage Update for Delta Passengers

As some of you may have heard, Delta Airlines recently decided that they would no longer help camps with their luggage handling in Minneapolis on camper arrival and departure days. I am disappointed in this decision by Delta, as are all of the camp directors.

What does this mean for you? Well, we're not quite sure yet. Some camps have opted to suggest that parents ship luggage directly to camp, while others are going to manage the luggage situation on the ground in Minneapolis. We have not yet made a determination on the course for Chippewa families. While we want to make sure that luggage collection in Minneapolis is as simple as possible on travel days, I am concerned that Delta's decision will create quite a mess at the baggage carousel. I also understand that shipping luggage might create some complications for you as parents in planning.

Please stay tuned to the blog and watch your email box. We have plenty of time before camp starts, but I hope to have a recommendation to you by June 1st. As always, please don't hesitate to call or email.
