By Car
Michigan Tech is located in Michigan's Upper Peninsula along U.S. Highway 41 on the east side of Houghton. Both U.S. Highway 41 or Michigan Highway 26 will take you directly to Houghton. Maps and parking instructions will be provided once you are enrolled.

Participants who drive themselves to YP will be assigned a parking area. Because participants are not permitted to drive while attending YP, they will be asked to keep their keys in the Youth Programs safe at the residence hall.

By Air
Houghton is serviced by an airline. Contact the Keweenaw Peninsula Chamber of Commerce at 906-482-5240 for more information. YP staff will provide transportation to and from the airport anytime, day or night.

If you are interested in charter bus service, please indicate so on the application form. More information will be sent in your Welcome Packet.
