INFORMATION ON OPTIONAL BUS AND BAGGAGE SERVICE
We will provide chaperones for buses leaving from and returning to Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York City. Baggage may be shipped at the same time. Depending on the number of riders, the bus may be a chartered bus or a camp van. The cost for bus fare is $100.00 each way.
SINCE WE RESERVE BUSES BASED ON THE NUMBER OF REQUESTS, NO REFUNDS WILL BE MADE AFTER JUNE 1st. If you have made a reservation for the bus and your plans change, please notify us immediately so that bus departure is not delayed.
To Camp
Each camper may bring small carryon items such as a hockey stick, fishing pole, or tennis racquet onto the bus. Larger pieces will be stored under the bus or in a separate vehicle provided by camp. Campers from Washington and Baltimore should bring a bag lunch and something to drink. From Philadelphia or New York City a small snack and a drink is sufficient because it is a shorter ride.
Return Home
All baggage must be picked up at the same time and place as campers. Any unclaimed baggage will be returned to camp.
We need the completed “transportation form” from EVERY family by May 1st!!!!
