Bussing to Camp
Getting to camp has never been easier with 10 bus routes across the GTA, giving campers more opportunities to explore, connect, and grow. Safety is always the top priority, followed by fun. Each bus is staffed with at least two counsellors, and campers are grouped by age to help build friendships right from the start.
The bus ride is an extension of the camp experience, filled with songs, games, and excitement that set the tone for an amazing day. Toronto Island and YMCA Cedar Glen routes are also equipped with GPS tracking so you can check pick-up and drop-off times with ease.
