Ride the Bus

Hop on board for a fun, safe, and convenient ride to camp! Hope Valley offers bus transportation to select locations, making it easy for every camper to experience an amazing summer adventure with us.

This service is provided as a privilege to help ensure that children who may not have another way to attend can still experience the joy of camp.

Bus routes are selected during the registration process, and seating is limited. While we strive to accommodate all campers who need transportation, bus service is subject to availability and is offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Families with other transportation options are encouraged to use Own Ride to allow space for those who need the bus most.

To ensure a safe and enjoyable trip for everyone, we ask that all riders follow bus guidelines and respectful conduct. Hope Valley reserves the right to deny bus access if a camper’s behavior creates an unsafe or disruptive environment.
