2023 Summer Camp Transportation
Calleva provides “pick-up-point” transportation for our campers and the cost is included in weekly tuition. Campers ride commercial vehicles with certified drivers.
Bus routes listed below run from your neighborhoods to Calleva Farm, Madeira School & Riley’s Lock. Please be sure to select your bus route based on the hub destination related to your child’s camp.
- We have worked hard to select locations that will be efficient neighborhood “meet up” points. Locations are subject to change, since some of our hosts will not confirm until Spring 2023.
- If Calleva is forced to re-locate one of these bus stops, we will do our very best to secure an alternate spot near the original lcoation.
- IMPORTANT NOTE: Calleva does NOT provide Thursday evening or Friday morning bus service for Adventure Campers whose camp week includes an overnight excursion/campout.
Meet Up Times: The times listed here can shift on any given day due to unforeseen traffic or other re-routing issues. Please be patient and allow 15 minute leeway for our drivers! Please double check your confirmation email to be sure you understand your child’s pick up & drop off timing & location.
