Camper Bus Transportation

**ALLOW EXTRA TIME FOR MONDAY MORNING CHECK-IN**

• Plan for extra time at Monday morning check-in.
• Always arrive 10 minutes before the bus arrival time.
• Get out of your vehicle and form a line, keeping space between families, to prepare for the check-in process.
• Bus commanders will walk you through the check-in details and give you a camper hangtag (on the first day) to use for camper pickup once your pick-up code is verified.
• Note, Camp Bucks cannot be added at check-in.

IMPORTANT: ONLY campers who have completed the following can check in at the bus location on Monday morning (1st day of camp):

1. Signed up for bus transportation
2. Paid in FULL
3. Completed the medication list form if meds are being brought to camp

For additional info on bringing meds to camp, go here.

Call (615) 794-2918 if you have questions.

The person picking up a camper should be at the location at least 10 minutes before the scheduled pick-up time.

• Form a line for pickup.
• Show your hangtag (received at check-in) or your camper pick-up code.
• Bus commanders will call campers off the bus after seeing one of these and release them to the pickup person.

Campers are not released without a hangtag or pickup code. A camper will not be released to someone even if the staff recognize them and have seen them each day of pick up.

If the person picking up your camper(s) does not have the hangtag or camper pickup code, they will be asked step out of the line to contact the parent or guardian of the camper to retrieve the code.

The bus cannot wait if the parent or guardian does not answer the phone and it is time to move on to the next stop. In this case, the camper(s) will not be released and will need to be picked up at camp by the parent, guardian, or person who has the hangtag or camper pickup code.

SHARING CAMPER PICK-UP CODE WITH FAMILY & FRIENDS
Your camper pickup code is chosen by you and set during the registration process.

You are welcome to share your camper pickup code with any friend or family member who will be picking up your camper but please know Deer Run staff are not permitted to disclose the code to anyone at any time.

If your camper needs to be picked up in the morning at one location and dropped off in the afternoon at a different location, both locations need to be selected in the online registration and each paid for to reserve a seat on the vehicle at both locations.

A minimum of two Deer Run Bus Commanders are on each vehicle. Bus Commanders check-in and check-out campers at each bus stop plus supervise campers and monitor behavior on the ride to and from camp.
