Directions to Orientation Site, September 11th
Hi Morocco Semester Students:
Below is information about how to get from your domestic flight into the New York City area to Cross Roads Camp and Retreat Center in Port Murray, NJ, the site of our Pre-Travel Orientation starting on September 11th. We're aiming to have all of you meet up to catch the same train from Newark Penn Station. If you haven't booked your domestic flight yet, flying into Newark (EWR) would offer the easiest transfer with JFK and third LaGuardia (LGA) being the second and third choices, respectively. Please book your flights in the morning so you can meet at the Newark Penn Station train station to catch the 3 pm train to High Bridge, NJ (on the Raritan Valley Line).
Please let us know how you are getting to the retreat center on Friday September 11th. You can email Michelle at michelle@global-lab.org with that information as soon as possible.
For those of you who would like to drive to the center directly, please follow the directions from the retreat center's website.
If you're flying into Newark, make your way to Newark Penn Station where you will catch your train out to High Bridge, NJ on the Raritan Valley Line. You can purchase your ticket at Newark Liberty Airport, hop on the Air Train, and arrive at Newark Penn Station to catch your train to High Bridge, NJ (the last stop). The train departs Newark Penn Station at 3:06 pm and arrives at High Bridge at 4:27 pm. A Global LAB staff member will meet you at the High Bridge station and help you transfer to the retreat center.
If you're flying in to JFK, you need to catch the A Express subway train from the airport to New York Penn Station where you will purchase your train ticket for High Bridge, NJ on the Raritan Valley Line. You'll want to catch the 2:37 pm Northeast Corridor (NEC) Line train to Newark Penn Station. There, you will switch lines and take the 3:06 pm train to High Bridge which arrives at 4:27 pm. A Global LAB staff member will meet you at the High Bridge station and help you transfer to the retreat center.
If you're flying in to LaGuardia, you can take a fairly short cab ride into New York Penn Station where you will purchase your train ticket for High Bridge, NJ on the Raritan Valley Line. You'll want to catch the 2:37 pm Northeast Corridor (NEC) Line train to Newark Penn Station. There, you will switch lines and take the 3:06 pm train to High Bridge which arrives at 4:27 pm. A Global LAB staff member will meet you at the High Bridge station and help you transfer to the retreat center.
Don't hesitate to get in touch with any questions you might have before we all meet together at the retreat center.
