Important Transportation Information for Campers on Buses

Published on: 06/19/23 2:49 PM

“DRY RUN” – Monday, June 19th

Crestwood bus counselors and drivers have started to practice bus routes this week to get ready for pick-ups on the first day of camp plus introduce themselves to you and your child. Generally, they will not call beforehand to set up a time. If you are not home when they stop by, they will leave an introductory letter in your mailbox with the route number and estimated pick-up time.  It will also include their name and phone number.

This summer, all of our bus drivers and bus counselors (with a few exceptions) will be doing a “dry run” on Monday, June 19th that will begin at approximately 10:30 AM.  We will be instructing the buses to stop at every house along the route, ring the bell and drop off their introductory letter.  Unfortunately, there is no way to give out any specific times that the bus may arrive at your house as the bus drivers and counselors will still be making route adjustments as they go through the day plus spending time at each house speaking to parents and campers.  The whole process can take several hours. Please do not feel compelled to wait at home as bus counselors will call anyone they do not meet and if necessary set up a new day and time to meet your family.

If you do not hear from your driver or bus counselor by Thursday, June 22nd or have any other questions, please call Jordan or Jaime, in our Transportation Department, at (631) 692-6361. 

JUNIOR DAY CAMPERS: Your child will be assigned to a different 2:30 PM bus route and a bus counselor/driver who will also contact you. Typically, they will try to stop by after school hours when your child is home. They will follow up with a phone call, but you can contact them directly to set up another time to meet.
