Transportation

Buses
Pick-up and drop-off at camp is a very busy time; we recommend using the bus service.We have two bus routes that make 3 stops each in the morning and evening.You may sign up for either one-way or round-trip transportation. Buses arrive at camp at approximately 9:00 am and leave at 4:30 pm. Shawnee and Mohegan bus campers are supervised and play games until the 4:30 pm all-camp dismissal.

Bus Service Policy:
  • Each bus has limited seating. Spaces are filled on a first come first served basis.
  • Mahackeno provides 2 regular staff members as bus monitors.
  • Parents are responsible for their children until they board the bus in the morning and as soon as they are dropped off in the afternoon.
  • Please be at the bus stop 5 to 10 minutes before the pick up or drop off time. A parent or guardian must be present at this time, and MUST SHOW proper identification to pick up children.
  • If a parent fails to meet the bus at the scheduled drop off time the bus will return to Mahackeno with the camper. The camper will be brought to the office and a late fee may be incurred.
  • The bus will not wait for any campers or parents at any stops.
  • Pick-up and drop-off times and locations may be subject to change. All parents will be notified immediately of any changes.
  • If a parent is consistently late picking up their camper their space on the bus will be terminated.

Our smiling staff greets each camper daily and the children walk to LOGS to begin there day. The path is lined with specialist and directors to guide campers to our morning program.
