Fly into the Harrisburg International Airport (MDT). We will arrange transportation if we know whenm you will arrive. If that fails there is taxi service from the airport to Messiah College. You can also use Baltimore(BWI) or Dulles (IAD). Both are a bit more than a two hour drive. You would need to rent a car. If we know of groups of participants arriving there, we will try to help you coordinate your plans. Philadelphia ia also possible, but not as convenient. Check the college web site below for more details.
