RIDING THE BUS TO SUMMER CAMPSummer Camp
Summer Camp
The bus ride to summer camp is a unique experience for kids that
sets the tone for a fun-filled day.
Summer Camp
As a parent, you can enjoy the benefit of knowing that your
child has a safe way to get to and from camp and your kids will
look forward to the extra time with their friends.

However, you should know that the bus ride will never be an
ordinary trip.

Instead, camp bus drivers and monitors will enhance the
experience by planning exciting activities that build a sense of
camaraderie and promotes camp spirit.
SAFETY AND SECURITY
When your child gets on a camp bus, they will enjoy a warm
welcome from a trusted member of the camp staff.
Bus drivers and monitors undergo rigorous background checks and
training to ensure that they are certified in first aid, CPR and
behavior management.
Roll sheets are completed as each child boards at their stop and
exits upon their arrival at camp and they are all taught from the
very first day how to follow the bus rules.
Since the bus staff also works at the camp, they greet kids by
name and provide the added comfort of having a familiar face.
SONGS AND CHANTS
Singing is a big part of the summer camp experience and starting
the day with a few classic camp songs gets kids pumped up for the
activities that await them that day.
From their official camp song to old favorites such as On Top of
Old Smokey, the sound of gleeful singing is often heard long before
the bus can be seen arriving at camp.
Cheers and chants are also part of the fun and campers may even
engage in a few competitions to see which row can be the
loudest.
GAMES AND COMPETITIONS
In addition to chant games, bus monitors may use competitions as
a teambuilding experience.
Scavenger hunts, road BINGO, Simon Says and I Spy are a few
classics that you can expect your child to play.
The camps staff also uses icebreaker games at the beginning of
the summer to foster friendships between the kids.
For example, they may play the Name Game which involves saying
the names of all of the other people in front of them.
Silly games such as Pass the Shoe also leave the kids giggling
as they hustle to move an object from the front of the bus to the
back faster than the team on the other side.
At summer camp, even the transportation is designed to develop
your childs independence and the bus staff knows that this ride may
be the first time many of them have gone somewhere on their
own.

For this reason, they always make sure that they all feel safe
and comfortable from the first moment they board the bus.
New riders are often assigned a Bus Buddy who will guide them
through their first week on the bus and introduce them to their
fellow campers.
By the end of that first ride, you can bet your kid will be
jumping right into the activities as they sing, play and cheer
their way into camp.
