Transportation from San Francisco, Berkeley, Oakland, Pleasant Hill, San Ramon
We are a day camp and most summer staff drive to our camp sites in Lafayette or Moraga. Some staff also act as bus counselors who supervise campers and lead activities on the ride to and from camp in the morning and afternoon. Our buses pick up in San Francisco, Berkeley, Oakland, Pleasant Hill, and San Ramon. If the daily commute to Lafayette/Moraga is not feasible for you but taking the bus could work, please apply and we will consider your situation.
