The Town of Guilderland will once again provide transportation for our six week summer camp programming - available Monday, July 1, 2024 through Friday, August 9, 2024. This service will look different from past years. Please take a few moments to read through this information thoroughly. 

Registration Information
  • Registration is required. The cost is a flat fee of $20 per-camper per-week. A cost adjustment for one-way travel can be made by calling the Parks & Recreation Department.
  • Availability is on a first-come first serve basis. There is a limited number of buses and spacing available.
  • Transportation is available and limited to Town of Guilderland residents - buses will not travel outside of the Town.
  • Unregistered campers will not be permitted on the bus. Register early to assure a spot.
  • The buses will leave the bus garage at 7:30am and arrive at Tawasentha Park between 8:15 and 8:30am - depending on the length of each route.
  • The bus routes will have designated locations for pick-up and drop offs, with a number of centralized points throughout the route. The bus will remain at each designated location for apx. 10 minutes (ex. Lynnwood Elementary.) A centralized point is a quick pick up at certain location (ex. corner of Main St and Brandle Rd.).
  • We encourage you to utilize the designated locations for pick up and drop off.
  • The bus will no longer pick up campers at the end of their driveways.
  • Each bus route will be assigned a cartoon character for easy identification.
  • Transportation is available to any Sports or Enrichment camps offered between 9:00-11:00am.
  • All campers will be taken to Tawasentha Park first. Campers will then unload and reload the buses to be transported to the school/facility of their camp/program. The process will be in reverse for the return route home.
  • Buses will exit Tawasentha Park at approximately 11:40am for the return routes.
  • Parents/Guardians must be present at designated drop off locations. Campers will not be let off the bus unless parent/guardian is present. Please be there a few minutes early.
  • The Bus Transportation Supervisor contact number is 518-339-8174. Starting Monday, July 1st.
  • Send your camper with his/her camp tag - located on the registration website or in the back of this brochure.
  • This is not a requirement for campers to attend our programming but an amenity for families to utilize. Campers can still be dropped off or picked up from their desired camp by a parent/guardian.
