Planning
Once you have registered for a specific week for the Five-Day Program, it is good to schedule your travel arrangements as soon as possible. We will be happy to assist you with any part of your plans.

As part of the Charlotte metro region, Davidson is closely accessible from Interstate highways I-77 and I-85.

The Charlotte-Douglas International Airport is a 25-30 minute drive to Davidson and it serves all major airlines. Clients have found the rates to Charlotte very affordable from throughout the nation.

As the Five-Day Program begins early Monday morning, participants have found it helpful to arrive by Sunday evening. Travel agents and internet sites are often useful in finding the most convenient and affordable flights as well as reserving a rental car. For convenience, it is best to research and book your flight at least two weeks prior to your arrival.

If you do not wish to rent a car while you are here, DCC will assist you with shuttles to and from the airport (for departing and arriving flights before 8:00 PM). Some hotels may also arrange a shuttle.

As the workout facilities, restaurants, and shops are within walking distance of the DCC, a rental car is not necessary. However, you may wish to have a car to explore the many Charlotte-metro offerings, including cultural or sporting events, evening shopping and dining.
