Driver Information

Our main objective is to get campers to and from camp safely. Drivers need to familiarize themselves with the following polices and procedures:

All drivers will receive bus route. Once route is refined - give copy to office.
Practice run - leave slip with driver info in camper's mailbox.

Drivers will walk around bus and do a pre-inspection of vehicle before doing daily run.
Start bus. Report any mechanical problems to office immediately.
Check gas - never leave tank less than half full. Get gas at Gulf on Newbridge Road. Sign slip and attach to mileage sheet. NEVER FILL BUS WITH CHILDREN ON IT.
Fill out Mileage sheet before starting run and hand in at the end of the day.
Check office for messages before starting your run.

Bus will pick up campers on the passenger side of the street.
Beep horn - if camper does not come out - call house with cell phone.
Leave house if no answer after 3 minutes on a pick up.
When delivering a child, NEVER LEAVE CHILD UNLESS AN ADULT IS THERE TO RECEIVE THE CHILD.
