Map of Camps and Bus Pick-up and Drop-Off Points
*All busses leave from and return to Welsh Park, the hub for the camp transportation system. If you have children in several camps that include bus transportation, dropping at Welsh Park is an option. Children should not be dropped off at Welsh Park until 8:50 a.m. and should be picked up at 3:10 p.m. PLEASE WRITE BUS PICK-UP/DROP-OFF POINT IN THE DESIGNATED SPACE ON EACH REGISTRATION FORM |
Transportation is provided by MCPS buses. Buses pick up campers at designated City sites (see list) starting at 8:15 a.m., returning between 3:20-3:50 p.m. No specific times can be given. Bus pick-up/ drop-off points are not staffed. - Campers should arrive at their bus stop by 8:15 a.m., particularly on the first two days of each camp session. By the third day of a session, a more accurate time schedule will have been established for each bus stop.
- Campers are picked up at the designated bus stops in the morning and bused to Welsh Park. Campers then are reassigned, with the assistance of camp staff, to their specific camp bus, and transported or walked to camp. In the afternoon, this procedure is followed in reverse.
Note: Every effort will be made to follow an established bus schedule; however, mechanical failures and traffic conditions may cause delays.
- Parents/guardians must meet their child at the bus stop in the afternoon. If your child is permitted to walk home alone, a written note must be given to the bus driver to verify this. Also it is important that parents communicate in writing with camp staff when their child’s transportation arrangement changes.
- In order to reduce the amount of time campers are on the buses and to maximize efficiency of the camp transportation, the City will eliminate bus stops where there are fewer than five campers registered.
- Bus routes are subject to change at the start of each new camp session. This may change pick-up and drop off times.
