Transportation
To make it easier for families to send their child(ren) to camp, Camp Sonshine offers over 15 bus stop locations throughout Howard, Montgomery, PG counties, and D.C. Visit our Camp Sonshine Bus Schedule below for drop-off/pick-up locations and times.
*Note: When registering online, simply select “extended care” and pay using your credit/debit card. We do not offer the transportation option during the online enrollment, because we have limited space. You MUST contact Parent Services to enroll in Bus Transportation services.
Fees (Summer 2024)
For questions concerning transportation please email our Parent Services office at info@campsonshine.org
Parking passes are required for buses. Our Camp Sonshine static sticker must be displayed on the windshield or handed to the counselor upon pickup. If there are any changes to who will be picking up their child from the bus stop please let Parent Services know.
Buses may arrive up to 10 minutes before or after the estimated time due to traffic, weather, and other circumstances beyond our control. Therefore, we recommend arriving at the bus stop at least 15 minutes prior to departure/arrival time. Buses leave the stops immediately at the time below. If you know you are running late, please either move on to the next stop on your child’s bus stop route if you will be able to make that stop at the listed time, or plan to drive your camper to camp as we are unable to delay the bus route as is it interferes with the camp day. Thank you!
Bus stop availability is subject to change on a weekly basis.
