Girl Scouts River Valleys provides bussing to all council-led Day Camps at Camp Lakamaga and Camp Singing Hills. The bus picks up campers at three different stop locations in the morning and drops them off at the same locations at the end of the day. There will be a camp staff member assigned to each bus stop to help with check in and check out each day. Whether or not your camper is taking the bus or not does not need to be decided at registration. Parents/guardians will include the decision to take the bus or not when filling out CampDoc.

Arrive at Stops Early
It is important to arrive early enough to get your camper on the bus and to ensure the bus schedule stays on time. This means you may not see the bus waiting for you when you arrive. Delays may occur from time to time due to traffic congestion and other unforeseen circumstances. Please refer to the online schedule to confirm arrival time. The recorded message at 800-845-0787 will be updated to inform you of any delay of an hour or more. If you are not on time, the bus will leave as scheduled without your camper and you will have to drive to the next stop or all the way to camp.
Bus Rules for All Campers
Please review the following bus safety guidelines with your camper or troop.
- Remain seated at all times
- No shouting or yelling while on the bus
- Follow the Girl Scout Promise and Law at all times
