Getting to the WNDI is Easy

Since we began the WNDI in 2001, over 725 students have safely arrived and departed from the Whitman Campus.

Whitman is accessible for students from all over the country. Students, coaches, and our staff have done it each year including students from Florida, Washington DC, Kansas, Minnesota, Georgia, and states from all over the country. We make it as easy as possible by providing extended check-in and check-out times and shuttle services to the local airports and bus stations.

YOU CAN DRIVE TO WHITMAN

Whitman is located in Southeast Washington, a great central location for the Northwest.

Whitman is a leisurely five hour drive through the beautiful Cascades and Yakima Valley from Seattle, Washington. Three hours from Spokane through the rolling green hills of the Inland Empire. Five hours traveling from Boise, Idaho across LaGrande near the Blue Mountains. Five hours from Portland driving through the stunning Columbia Gorge and by Multnomah Falls.

Students have driven from Montana, Utah, and Southern Oregon.

The Walla Walla Bus Station, in the heart of our small downtown

Flying or taking a bus to Whitman is a simple, straight forward trip. Pasco and Walla Walla both offer full airport and bus service in small, personable, safe facilities.

We understand that parents want their son or daughter to remain safe. That is why we offer our shuttle service with drivers that are safety certified, who keep in touch with you in case of late flights, we provide pictures of them to you, they use passwords to assure safety at pickup, and our drivers make sure students wake up to get their shuttle when it is departure time.

Each year, 40 to 50% of the students at the WNDI arrive by plane or bus and our shuttle drivers welcome them to our camp with cookies and other snacks and we encourage students to call home as soon as they arrive.
