All campers must ride the bus, except children of full-time camp volunteers who drive to camp with their volunteers and campers. If an adult volunteer is riding the bus, their camper(s) will ride the bus with them. The Transportation Coordinator is your point of contact for transportation, who can be reached at transportation@mountaindalenorth.org or via text at the cell number provided in the packet of information you will receive before the start of camp.
Pick Up / Drop Off
The bus stop for drop-off and pick-up will be located in Cedar Mill near the Cornell Rd. exit off Sunset Highway. The exact bus stop location will not be published on this website for security reasons. Bus pick-up/drop-off location information will be mailed to families in early July. If you need to know this information before then for planning purposes, you can Email transportation@mountaindalenorth.org for the location.
Buses begin loading at 8:15 a.m. and depart promptly for camp at 8:30 a.m. Buses return to the bus location at approximately 4:00 p.m., depending on traffic from camp.
Attendance
Your child’s safety is of the utmost importance at Mountaindale North and that begins with making sure they are accounted for at all times. The Attendance Coordinator is your point of contact for attendance. They can be reached at attendance@mountaindalenorth.org or via text at the cell number provided in the packet of information you will receive before the start of camp. We NEED to know about absences, or else we will have to track down your missing camper!
Please do not send your child to camp sick.
Attendance at camp should be the priority during this week. Mountaindale is a secure facility which means it is not accessible after the buses leave in the morning and before they arrive in the afternoon. Please avoid making appointments that might require a late arrival, early departure, or leaving the property at any time during the day.
If there is an absence planned for the week of camp, we require written notice by Email to the Attendance Coordinator. Please include your name, camper’s full name, and absence details. Verbal communication in person or by phone is not effective. This information can also be included in the Camper Release Form if known at the time of registration.
