Program
Some participants and families drive to PTC, while others take a plane, chartered bus, or Amtrak to travel to the training center. The Southwest Chief runs between Los Angeles Union Station and Chicago Union Station, and includes a station in Raton. Participants can then take a shuttle from the Amtrak station to Philmont. There is private plane service at Raton Municipal Airport, but there are no commercial flights there. Nearby commercial airports are the Albuquerque International Sunport airport, Denver International Airport, Colorado Springs Airport, Pueblo Memorial Airport with service to Denver, and Rick Husband Amarillo International Airport. Commercial chartered buses are available to and from the airports and some cities.
Participants and their families arrive at the PTC on Sunday and depart on the following Saturday. Meals are served in dining halls, and participants are housed in large wall tents on platforms with twin beds, electricity and a cabinet. Located near the tents are showers, restrooms, medical facilities, recreation and craft areas. Conference program fees include meals, lodging, and conference and family program materials. During the week the participants attend a training conference while their families participate in the PTC's family programming.
