Bus transportation to the camp has become mandatory this year for several essential reasons:

The safety of children is the camp’s top priority. By requiring all participants to use bus transportation, the camp can ensures that children travel together in a controlled and supervised environment. This reduces risks related to traffic, individual travel, and unforeseen situations on the road.

Bus transportation allows for more efficient scheduling of arrivals and departures, minimizes delays due to staggered arrivals, and ensures that all participants arrive at the camp at the same time. This contributes to a smooth start of activities and an overall better experience for your child.
