2024 Transportation and Travel Plan

Fir Acres Writing Workshop: Sunday, June 23 - Saturday, July 6, 2024.

Please fill out this form to let us know how you will be arriving (even if you’re arriving and departing with family members by car).

For participants traveling to Portland via plane, or train, and without family, please let us know your travel plan as soon as you know. We prefer to receive this information by the end of May at the very latest. We want to make sure we schedule you for pick-up and drop-off during our shuttle service on June 23 and July 6, 2024.

If you are being transported by a parent or guardian to the Workshop, we ask that you arrive on campus between 12:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. on Sunday, June 23. Follow “Fir Acres Writing Workshop” signs to Howard Residence Hall where we will greet you, go over any health and safety related issues, including on-site consult with a nurse, if necessary, receive any medications you are bringing, and give you your room and roommate assignment. We can also answer any questions parents may have. Tours of campus will be offered to participants and families at 1:30pm and 3:00pm at the entrance of Howard Residence Hall.

Students arriving by plane at PDX will meet staff at the airport and will be safely transported to campus. Students arriving by train or bus will also meet staff and will be safely transported to campus.

Workshop staff will provide shuttle service to PDX (and bus and train stations) between 6:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. on the final day of the Workshop, Saturday, July 6. Students and parents must officially check out with a staff or faculty member on campus. Please let us know, when you know, if the departure time is outside these times. We will make sure every student who needs a ride to the airport will get one!

Fir Acres will email participants and families before the Workshop start date with a list of round-the-clock program cell phone numbers to use during transit. We will make every effort to track delays in scheduled arrivals and departures, but we ask for participant’s assistance in this as well (in other words: call the program cell phone numbers if your flight is delayed!). If you have questions about transportation arrangements, please call us at 503-768-7932.
