Air Transportation:
If you are flying to Kentucky for the institute, it is recommended that you fly into the Lexington Blue Grass Airport (LEX). Free shuttle pickup to and from the Lexington airport will be available. If you need pickup from the airport, please email your flight information to Abby Temple at uktrumpetcamp(at)gmail.com

For participants who choose the room option, housing will be in Holmes Hall, the state-of-the-art fine arts dorm opened in Fall 2016.

Check in: morning of June 3rd
Check out: afternoon/evening of June 6th
  • If a participant wants to arrive a day early or stay a day late, this is possible. There will be a $40/day fee for additional days. Please contact us at uktrumpetcamp(at)gmail.com and pay the fees by May 22 in order to secure your dorm room for this option.

LINENS: Participants should bring their own linens, including Full XL or Queen sheets, blanket, pillow, and toilet paper, plus any other necessities. These are the student's responsibility as the dorm does not provide these essentials.
