Families have a few options for getting campers to and from Camp depending on their enrolled program. Options include charter buses, driving to/from Camp with family or carpooling with another family attending the same session.
to and From Camp
For our at-Camp programs, we provide a chartered bus service beginning in the East Bay, with a short brown bag lunch stop in Oakdale, before arriving four hours later at Camp. Our trained and enthusiastic staff greet families at our designated departure location, as well as meet our out of town campers at the Oakland International Airport during a predetermined arrival window and/or on predetermined flights. Campers travel with other children around their same age to Camp while staff on the bus help them feel more comfortable by singing songs, playing games, and facilitating friendships.
Chartered bus service back to the Bay Area is also provided at the end of every at-Camp summer program. Transportation information for registered families is provided in the weeks leading up to the departure for Camp.
Transportation at Camp
During our summer camp programs, our trained driving staff transport campers to and from day trips and backpacking trips. All drivers are 21+, attend a specific driver safety training course, are approved by our insurance and have a clean driving record.
What if my child’s school start date overlaps with the end of Session 4?
Campers may leave early from Session 4 to accommodate school start dates, and we will coordinate transportation from Camp on the Sunday before the end of the session. We understand how frustrating it can be to navigate many calendars, especially when they overlap. The shortening of summer makes scheduling challenging, and the vast difference in each school district’s calendar proves particularly tricky. (Session fees will not be prorated for early departures.)
