Sign Up: Seats are available on a first-come, first-served basis and we encourage early sign-up. Sign up through your camper’s online paperwork (see Arrival Plans step and Departure Plans step). If space is available, we’ll add your camper to the list, add the bus fee of $165 per trip to your camper’s account, and email you confirmation. Payment must be received within 15 days of confirmation to secure your camper’s spot on the bus. *The bus fee is waived for campers receiving financial aid.

Bus Stop Location: The bus stop is on the north side of W 62nd between Columbus and Amsterdam (Next to the Lincoln Center).
