Here is a MAP of the area. Air Travel The camp is serviced by Charlotte Douglas International Airport. If arriving by plane, round trip ground transportation is provided for a fee of $40. Catawba College is located just 42 miles from the airport. The camp will dispatch a chartered air conditioned bus to the airport. This bus has a lavatory and VCR and will pick up Dixie campers in the baggage claim area of Charlotte Douglas International Airport. Upon arrival, campers should go directly to baggage claim where Camp staffers will be stationed to direct students to the waiting transportation. Campers arriving after 2pm. need to arrange for their own transportation to campus. Campers are strongly encouraged to plan such that they arrive on campus well prior to that time. Return flights on July 13th should be scheduled to depart after 3:30pm. to ensure timely arrival at the airport. Campers should pickup their luggage and report to the doors outside of baggage claim, on the lower level, to meet the camp representative and board the charter bus. Airport transportation personnel will be dressed in Dixie Top 150 camp t-shirts and Dixie Top 150 Lacrosse Camp shorts. Return airplane flights should be scheduled for after 3:30 pm out of Charlotte Douglas Airport.  Campers - Please Note!! U.S. GOVERNMENT ADDRESSES LACROSSE STICKS AS PART OF AIR BAGGAGE RESTRICTIONS March 18, 2003 WASHINGTON, D.C. - The United States Transportation Security Administration (TSA) last month ruled that lacrosse sticks are prohibited in the cabin of an aircraft and past security checkpoints at airports, but they may be transported as checked baggage. TSA, the agency responsible for security in all modes of transportation, issued the interpretive ruling in the Federal Register on Feb. 14. In the ruling, TSA classified lacrosse sticks as "club-like items" and prohibited persons from carrying lacrosse sticks beyond airport security checkpoints and onto airplanes. Lacrosse players traveling by air should include their sticks as part of their checked baggage when arriving in airport terminals. "This ruling primarily affects individual and small groups of lacrosse travelers, for example kids flying to tournaments or summer camps," said Peter Falcone, a TSA employee and member of the Potomac Chapter of US Lacrosse. "Families need to be aware of this. We don't want there to be a situation where mom and dad drop their kids off at the airport and then leave, and then the kids get stopped at security checkpoints with their sticks, not knowing what to do. Organized teams will probably have made arrangements in advance." Check-In and Daily Schedule Check in is between 12:00pm - 2:00pm. Check out is 12:00 noon.
Dixie All Stars The staff of the Dixie Top 150 will select one full teams, consisting of 25 of the camp's best players to compete in the 2008 Champ Camp. You may learn more about Champ Camp at FAQ
