Transportation Guide
Pali Adventures offers several ways to get your camper to and from camp. You choose your transportation in the online parent center. Many families drive, and we also run charter buses and airport pick-ups.
Please note: if no transportation is scheduled in the parent center, your camper is automatically listed as a car drop-off and pick-up.

Campers will only be checked out to the names you list in your parent pack.
Drivers, please check your route: if your directions do not take you up Highway 330, your information may be incorrect.

Bus pick-up Sunday, arrival day
Buses to camp depart from all three locations at 12 PM on Sunday. Please plan to arrive at least 15-30 minutes before departure.
If you are running late to the pick-up location, call Pali and ask for the Transportation Director. A light snack and bottled water are recommended for the journey. We will email all parents once the buses arrive at camp.
Bus departure Saturday, departure day
Buses arrive back at all three locations at 12 PM on Saturday. Please plan to arrive 15-30 minutes early.
Remember to collect your camper’s luggage – campers typically do not pack as well as parents and may have more bags than when they arrived. Please have your ID ready, as we check that every camper leaves with an identified parent or guardian.
