Bus Counselors

all about being a bus captain/buddy

If a counselor rides one of the camp buses they will be either a Bus Counselor or a Bus Captain.  Bus Buddies are compensated $200 for the summer; Bus Captains are compensated $500. The position of Bus Captain will be decided by our Head of Transportation at a later date based on location and timing for each route.

Bus Buddies:

• Monitor the safety and behavior while en-route (seatbelts, respect)

• Engage with campers (conversations, games, no air pods or sleeping)

• Become familiar with route

• Bus Buddy may be asked to fill in for a Bus Captain during the summer

Bus Captain (in addition to Bus Buddy duties):

• First pick up and last drop off on the route

• Maintain attendance every day

• Communicate with the camp for any delays, attendance discrepancies, behavior issues

• Check ID and familiarize yourself with parents and caregivers for afternoon drop off

• Check the bus at the end of each ride for items left behind
