Transportation
Getting to Camp
Your child’s camp experience begins the moment they step on to the bus. With that in mind, here’s some information about our bus transportation…
- All transportation is provided at no additional charge.
- We pick up at more than 25 different conveniently located neighborhood meeting points. Stops are located in Agoura Hills, Calabasas, Encino, Hidden Hills, Newbury Park, Moorpark, Oak Park, Sherman Oaks, Simi Valley, Studio City, Tarzana, Thousand Oaks, West Hills, Westlake Village and Woodland Hills.
- We use the professional bus services of Mission School Transportation. All buses are driven by professional school bus drivers and are equipped with seat belts and air conditioning.
- The bus ride is fun! Our Rider Cup Spirit Challenge is a friendly inter-bus competition that includes singing, bus decorating, and performing a unique showcase for each bus each session.
- We hire and train our staff to ride our buses to and from camp. Each bus’s staff team works together under the supervision of a Bus Captain. Most buses have anywhere from 4-8 bus counselors on board. Bus staff are in constant communication with the camp office.
- To help campers feel prepared for their first day, we offer the opportunity to visit your bus stop and meet your bus staff prior to every summer.
Parent Provided Transportation / Extended Hours
Our extended hours are available at no additional charge. Parents are welcome to drive their campers to and from camp instead of riding the bus. Camp staff are available during the following hours:
- Drop off your camper between 8:00 – 9:00am
- Pick up your camper between 4:00 – 5:00pm
Campers may arrive via bus and be picked up at camp during extended hours or vice-versa.
When you are coming to pick up your camper, please be sure to bring your ID. For directions to the site, click here.
