We offer convenient options to get your camper(s) to and from camp each day. Please note that once a commitment has been made to the option of your choosing, no changes can be made after May 1st.

Family Drop-Off and Pick-Up:

Families have the option to drive campers to and from camp. Morning drop-off takes place between 8:30 and 9:00 am and afternoon pick-up takes place between 4:00 and 4:30 pm each day. Pick-up and drop-off is organized as a drive-through, where parents/guardians remain in their cars and camp staff members escort campers to and from their vehicles. Detailed instructions will be provided in our Family Handbook which will be distributed before camp begins.

Busing Service:

We offer door-to-door and depot busing service options in many areas of the city (see map below). Crestwood is proud of it’s long-standing partnership with Stock Transportation, who provides a fleet of their small, air-conditioned school buses. Each bus is equipped with seat belts, a Crestwood bus counsellor, and a professional and experienced bus driver. Bus drivers and bus counsellors both undergo extensive training provided by Stock Transportation and Crestwood Valley Day Camp.  We are in communication with each of our buses while they are on route. We design our bus routes to ensure they are as safe and efficient as possible. Prior to each session, you can expect to receive confirmation of your child’s bus number and approximate pick-up and drop-off times. The morning routes run between 8:00 and 9:00 am, while afternoon routes run between 4:00 and 5:00 pm. An authorized parent/guardian is required to be present to greet your camper at the end of each day.

Bus service is NOT included in our camp fees. Door-to-door bus service will cost $200.00 per week per camper and depot bus service is will cost $150.00 per week per camper. Sibling discounts do not apply to busing fees.

Please take note:

  • There is a minimum camper requirement to run a bus. If we cannot meet this requirement a route may be cancelled, or a rendezvous point may be arranged.
  • Full commitment to our bus service will be required for the duration of your camper’s session.
  • For families outside our door-to-door busing boundaries, bus depot points have been arranged (see map below).
  • We do not accept requests for bus timing, or requests around campers being on the same bus as others. All routes are put together based on timing and efficiency. We also do our best to consider local construction projects, which at times could alter our bus routes if road restrictions are in place.
  • Buses will not enter into areas which are challenging to access. This includes and is not limited to some townhouse developments, dead-end streets, or locations that may compromise the safety of the passengers on the bus.
  • We are unable accommodate any one-off changes to pick-up or drop-off locations. All campers must be picked up and dropped off from the address we have on file or the predetermined address we have arranged.
  • We are unable to accommodate any one-off requests for campers to take a bus who are not signed up for busing service.
  • All of our camp policies apply to busing service. Any camper or family behavioural challenges will be handled accordingly per our camp policies.
  • Parents/guardians are responsible for confirming that their address on file is up-to-date before submitting registrations. In the event you move homes, it is your responsibility to inform the camp immediately so that our records are updated. This is especially important for those who are using busing service. If you know ahead of time that you will be changing addresses between now and the start of camp, and you have opted in for depot or door-to-door busing service, please inform the camp immediately. To be clear, if you opt in for busing service at the time of registration, and move homes outside of the busing boundaries as shown on our website, the camp will no longer be able to provide busing service to your new home. If a change of address occurs after May 1st, transportation to the new address cannot be guaranteed. Please notify the camp office immediately of all changes by email at crestwood.camp@crestwood.on.ca

Busing service is made available to families living within the boundaries on the map below. As shown on the legend, door-to-door service is available in the areas highlighted in blue. Depot busing is available to families living in the areas shaded in grey (and beyond) at any of the listed depot busing locations as shown on the map.

Transportation Boundaries (Updated for Summer 2025):

Parents/guardians who have opted in for busing service agree and acknowledge that they have read all the information outlined on our website regarding bus transportation, including but not limited to the busing services available based on the outlined boundaries, and the process for updating your home address on file, and the consequences of not providing up-to-date information to the camp with regards to address and service changes.
