Summer camp transportation for South Florida camps

Daily camp shuttles for the whole season

Same stops, same times, every camp day.

Many camps run a shuttle every camp day: a morning run that collects campers from a few pickup points, such as a school parking lot, a community center or a synagogue or church lot, and an afternoon run that brings them back. Ace runs the same stops at the same times for the weeks of your session.

Send the pickup points, the morning and afternoon times, the camp days and the largest number of campers on any one run. Ace quotes the season as one schedule, and a mid-summer change, such as a new stop or a bigger week, goes to dispatch and the quote is updated.

Weekly field trips without the parent carpool

One coach moves the whole camp at once.

Most camps take a trip once a week: a museum, a park, a nature center, a water park, a bowling alley or a ballgame. A coach takes the whole camp in one move, so counselors are not chasing a line of parent cars and every camper arrives at the same moment.

Book the trips for the whole summer at once if you can. Send the date, the destination and the head count for each one, and dispatch confirms a vehicle for every trip day. For ideas close to home, Field Trip Ideas in Miami lists museums, parks and nature centers that groups visit.

Travel camps and bigger days out

Size the vehicle to the busiest trip day.

Travel camps spend most days on the road, with a new destination each morning. Ace can supply the same coach and driver for the whole run of trips, so the counselors learn one vehicle and one driver.

Pick the vehicle by the size of the group on the busiest day. A Sprinter van with a driver suits a small specialty group, a minibus seats 15 to 20, and a full size motorcoach seats 56. Bigger camps can book more than one coach for the same trip, drawing on a partner-fleet capacity of 40+ vehicles.

Morning drop-off and afternoon pickup

One lead counselor and a head count at every door.

The run goes best when the camp names one counselor as the lead for each vehicle. That person holds the roster, takes the head count at boarding and is the one phone number dispatch and the driver call.

Campers board by group, sit with their group, and stay seated until the coach stops. Before a field trip, counselors take a second count at the destination before anyone leaves the coach, and a third before the return. Summer afternoons in South Florida bring sudden storms, so pick a covered spot where campers can wait for the coach without standing in the rain.

3. Count at the destinationBefore anyone leaves the coach.

What a camp transportation quote is built on

Your season's schedule sets the quote.

Every camp is quoted on its own schedule. Ace does not print a rate card, because a two-stop daily shuttle and a summer of travel camp days are very different jobs.
