Campbell, Casa de Fruta and Fresno !
NEWS: The Fresno area pickup site
has been at the
commuter parking lot located on the intersection of Hwy 41 and
Hwy 145; however, do to the construction that it's currently
taking place in that location, we will be picking campers 2
miles further north on 41 hwy. On the Valero gas station
parking lot.
Transportation:
Transportation will be provided
starting Sunday
June 29 and
continuing each Sunday through the end of the summer camp
season. Transportation is not offered the first week of camp,
which is Adventure Camp, due to very small bus rider numbers.
Most parents enjoy bringing up their younger campers personally
for their first camping adventure! However, if your Adventure
age camper does need transportation and is comfortable riding
on the bus, the Jr. Adventurers camp will offer transportation.
As you know gas prices are
continuing to increase however we are making an effort offer an affordable
price for transportation please keep in mind that these prices
are subject to change if we experience another jump in gas
prices.

or Casa De Fruta will be $75.

trip fee is $45.
- One Way from Fresno is
