Camp begins when kids get on the bus!

There are a lot of reasons why Sleepaway and Day camps are the same and 95% of our podcasts are chalked full of ideas that ANY camp director can take to improve their camp.

However, this one is a shout out to every Day Camp Director’s biggest and most unique logistical headache:

THE BUSSES

Whether it’s 10 or 100 busses, Day Camp Pros know how much work goes into effectively getting to and from your camp. When you add the prefix bus- to any common camp term like staffing, logistics, hiring, training, programming, it opens up a WORLD of unique and wonderful challenges to address.

Joining Ehren and Andy to get those bums on the bus effectively is Howard Thall from Banner Day Camp, Adam Wallach from Camp Mohawk, and a very special guest - Larry Bell from Camp Robin Hood.

Tune in to:

  • How Day Camp transportation has changed over the last 50 years

  • How do you grow transportation to accommodate more campers?

  • Logistical tips (routes, pickup & drop off, communication, staffing)

  • Bus Programming

  • Pricing, surcharges and more!
