Transportation

General Transportation Information

We have contracted with Northfield Bus Lines for roundtrip transportation.

Each bus will have two high school age Counselors/Workstaffers designated as bus supervisors, with authorization to ensure a safe and pleasant journey for all. All Counselors/Workstaffers will wear a special “Counselor” or “Workstaff” T-shirt, so that the Campers can identify them more readily.

Lunch is served upon arrival at Camp. Restrooms are available on each bus.

Change of Transportation

If your transportation to or from Camp will be other than our chartered bus, the custodial parent or guardian should notify the Camp Coordinator, in writing no later than one week prior to the camping period. There will be no discount if transportation is other than by chartered bus.

We will be unable to stop at any point to pick up or drop off Campers on the way to or from Camp.

Departure

Chartered buses leave from Mount Olivet Church Minneapolis Campus (5025 Knox Ave S, Minneapolis, MN) parking lot each scheduled morning.

You will receive a reminder email with your Camper’s departure and arrival times approximately 10 days prior to your child’s camping session. Campers should check in no later than 7:30am. All Camp participants must be in good health on the day of departure. Do not send a child to Camp that is ill or injured in any manner. If a Camper will not be attending Camp or will be delayed on the morning of departure, please call the Camp Coordinator at 218.663.7869 to report the Camper’s absence. Buses will leave on schedule at 8am.

We will be unable to stop at any point to pick up or drop off travelers on the way to or from Camp.

Return

Arrival time on the day of return will be approximately 6:30pm in the Mount Olivet Church Minneapolis Campus parking lot. The COP Bus Hotline is 612.767.2304 and will be updated approximately 2 hours before the scheduled arrival time. You should be in the parking lot by the time stated to pick up your Camper. Please be prompt when picking up your Camper! A great week at Camp can turn into a very big letdown if no one is there to meet the bus when they come home! If you have an emergency and absolutely must be late to pick up your Camper, please call the Camp Coordinator at 218.663.7869 and leave a message so that we can reassure your Camper that you are on your way.

In the excitement of welcoming your Camper, items are often left or taken mistakenly. Please be sure to account for all of your Campers’ belongings.
