CAMP TRANSPORTATION

Campers may be driven by car to camp by a parent/guardian or campers may register for and ride the camp bus.  We encourage you to register for the bus early as all spaces will fill up! Please check your registration to ensure you are dropping off on the correct first day of camp.

Bus Transportation

Day campers are automatically registered for bus transportation from the Downtown Y or Westhills Y. You will be asked to indicate your bus stop during registration.

Overnight campers must register for a bus if not being driven by car.  Registration is for each direction.  There is a fee for the bus to camp on their first day of camp and/or from camp on their last day of camp.

Driving Your Camper by Car

Please ensure you allow yourself plenty of time to get to camp.  Traffic can be particularly busy getting to camp on Fridays; please give yourself time and be patient.
