CHANGES IN PICK-UP/DROP
UP/DROP-OFF OFF TIMES
Please allow a 20-minute window around pick-up and drop-off times. While the
bus company is committed to maintaining a rigorous transportation schedule,
situations will occasionally arise which will affect pick-up or drop-off times. If the
bus is to be late, every effort will be made to contact the parent/guardian listed at
the daytime phone number on the registration form to alert him/her of the delay.
Due to the potential volume of calls required, one call will be attempted to each
camper’s parent/guardian.
