• Our summer flight training season runs from mid-May to mid-September.
• Summer is our primary flight training season with the most people on site and when the bulk of our training occurs. With students, instructors, and volunteer work teams on-site, King Ranch is a busy place.

• We have a dining hall where you will enjoy three home cooked meals a day provided by a few of our many volunteers.
• Expect to help staff and volunteers with dishes and cleaning up the dining hall after meals each day. Many hands make light work.
• We don’t have the capability to prepare meals for special restrictions. If you require special food, please be in contact with us so we can help you come up with a solution.

• Because of our “communal living” environment that surrounds an active runway, safety is of utmost concern. For these reasons, KAC has a “no pets/animals” policy. Please understand this and make other arrangements for your pets if needed.
• Bedding is provided (sheets, blankets, pillows).
• You may bring your own camper for your family to stay in. You must inquire beforehand, as camper spaces are limited.

• Laundry facilities are provided, including laundry detergent.
• Shower facilities are provided with towels and washcloths. Bring your own toiletries.
• WiFi internet access is available in most buildings. Cell service is limited depending on your carrier. (AT&T works well, Verizon does not)

• KAC has a limited number of vehicles available for volunteers, over the age of 21, to borrow while they are here. They are available by sign-out on a first come, first serve basis. Please understand, there may not be a vehicle available when you want one. Be prepared to adjust your plans and be flexible.
• If you borrow a vehicle, please return it full of fuel, clean inside and out, and consider donating toward the cost of maintenance and insurance.
• Each day begins with devotions after breakfast. Topics vary from a message from God’s Word to personal testimonies of staff, students or visiting missionaries that work in various places around the world.

• Work Teams are housed in dorm style housing. When available, we will do our best to put married couples in couples housing, but it is not always possible. Please understand that you may be split up during your stay on the work team.
• We have a 10-team-member maximum due to housing and transportation considerations.
• It is important to follow the guidance and direction of our Facilities Director and Work Team Coordinator.
• When it is time to clean a worksite, please be willing to jump in. Just like our dining hall, many hands make light work. We also like to say, “Leave it better than you found it.”

• KAC is a nonprofit organization that operates off the donations of individuals and churches to reduce the cost of flight training, maintenance, housing, and meals for our students; housing and meals for our volunteers.

  $165/week for room, board, and airport pick-up.   

• Building projects and improvements cost money. In order for your particular project to stay on schedule, consider asking your church to cover the project you are coming to work on. This project and amount can be finalized with your work team leader, our work team coordinator, and our Facilities Director. You can expect this number to range from $3,000 – $10,000. We would be happy to answer your questions as to the cost of various projects.
