transportation
travel by chartered buses
Round trip transportation in chartered coaches is included in each camp fee except for Discovery, Riding Camp, Family Camp and LIT Camps.

What better way to brush up on familiar camp songs and relive last summer's memories than with old friends before you even get to camp!?! It is also helpful for campers who may not know anyone – after a couple of hours on the road, they'll know a whole bus load of other campers!

We encourage campers to use the provided transportation as this helps us start each camp with everyone arriving at the same time. Refunds are not available if parents drive campers to camp.
