Driving to the Ranch

Driving From Jackson Hole

To reach the ranch from Jackson, follow Highway 191 north of Jackson. Continue straight past the turnoff toward Yellowstone where 191 turns into 26, towards Dubois. The total distance from Jackson is approximately 70 miles and the drive will take about 1.5 hours. TVRC is on the right (south) side of the highway, look for the Ranch between mile markers 42 and 43 . There is a large ranch gate with a “Teton Valley Ranch Camp” sign at the road. Take the dirt road driveway for about 4.5 miles and you will arrive at Main Campus!

Driving From Dubois

TVRC is located about 20 minutes from the town of Dubois. If you are coming from Dubois, look for the Ranch between mile markers 42 and 43 on the left hand (south) side of the road. There is a large ranch gate with a “Teton Valley Ranch Camp” sign at the road. Follow this road approximately 4.5 miles back to Main Campus. Here, you will be greeted by the TVRC staff!

Air Travel

Flying to Camp

Many of our families choose to send their campers to Jackson Hole Airport (JAC) unaccompanied. Make sure every piece of luggage your camper brings to the Ranch (including carry-ons) is labeled with the TVRC luggage tag. These will be mailed to you!

To help make travel as smooth as possible, please send us your camper’s flight itinerary so that we can be at the Jackson Hole airport to provide the final leg of transportation to camp. If anything changes with your camper’s flights on their travel day, please notify the camp office.

We strongly recommend that campers who are flying to camp alone use the Unaccompanied Minor service provided by the airlines. If your camper is traveling as an Unaccompanied Minor, you will receive the contact information of the Unaccompanied Minor Liaison (TVRC Staff Member stationed at the JAC Airport) a couple of weeks before your camper’s flight.

Once your camper arrives in Jackson Hole, they will be welcomed by several staff members from TVRC, including our Unaccompanied Minor Liaison. You will receive a phone call from the Ranch as soon as your camper is at the airport to inform you of their safe arrival. The staff will help campers retrieve their baggage before boarding our 15-passenger vans for the trip to the Ranch. The drive from the airport to the Ranch is about 60 miles and will take about 1.5 hours. There will be snacks in the van to tide campers over until they arrive at the Ranch.

Flying Back Home

If your camper is flying home alone after Final Rodeo, they will be taken to the airport with other campers and TVRC staff on Departure Day. Staff members will ensure that your camper is checked in, through security, and has taken off before they leave the airport. Please ensure that your camper’s flight is scheduled to leave Jackson Hole (JAC) by noon on Departure Day, not Final Rodeo.

Departure Day for Boys’ Season is July 13th

Departure Day for Girls’ Season is August 14th

Many parents choose to use Unaccompanied Minor service for the flight home. If you choose to use this service you must list yourself or whoever will be picking up your camper from their final destination. If your camper checks baggage on the way home, we will charge your camper’s Trading Post account for baggage fees.

Unaccompanied Minors

The week before Departure Day you’ll receive an email with the contact information of the Unaccompanied Minor liaison for drop off. Until then, you can enter placeholder information that can be changed. Please be sure to pay ahead of time for this fee, which varies based on airline. Call the office with any questions or concerns.
