Why Choose Coach Bus Sacramento for Your Summer Camp Transportation?
Coach Bus Sacramento has been serving the Sacramento area since 2011, and we’ve worked with camps of every size and type—from small day programs to large residential camps with hundreds of participants. When you book with us, you get access to one of the largest and most versatile fleets in Northern California, including 18-, 20-, 25-, and 56-passenger buses from industry-leading manufacturers like Van Hool, Prevost, MCI, Grech, and Tiffany. We operate vehicles with every seating configuration and amenity package available, so you can customize your rental to fit the exact needs of your staff and campers.
We provide summer camp transportation services across the entire Sacramento region, including downtown Sacramento, Midtown, East Sacramento, Natomas, Elk Grove, Rancho Cordova, Folsom, Citrus Heights, North Highlands, Carmichael, Arden-Arcade, West Sacramento, Davis, Roseville, Rocklin, Granite Bay, and more. No matter where your camp is located or where you need to go, we’ll get you there on time and on budget.
Custom Shuttle Services for Camps of Any Size
No two camps are exactly alike—and neither are their transportation needs. That’s why we offer fully customized shuttle services designed around your schedule, your roster, and your programming. Need a daily loop from downtown Sacramento to a waterfront site on the American River? Multiple pickups across suburban neighborhoods like Elk Grove and Citrus Heights? An airport run to meet arriving counselors at SMF? Just say the word, and we’ll build a route plan that hits every stop right on cue.
Traveling with a small group of junior campers or CITs? Book one of our 18-, 20-, or 25-seat minibuses for an intimate ride that keeps everyone engaged. Running a flagship session with 200 kids strong? Charter several 56-passenger coaches and move the whole unit together in synchronized convoys. With vehicles available in every size category, it’s easy to scale your shuttle service up or down as enrollment numbers change.
Comfortable Amenities for Long-distance Trips
Many overnight camps serving the Sacramento region are located several hours outside the city—in destinations like Lake Tahoe, the Sierra Nevada foothills, or coastal sites near Mendocino and Santa Cruz. That means your campers could be spending anywhere from two to six hours on the road during arrival and departure days. Make those long-distance transfers easier by upgrading to a full-size motorcoach equipped with reclining seats, individual reading lights, powerful air conditioning, and onboard entertainment systems.
Our largest buses come standard with flat-screen video monitors, DVD/Blu-ray players, auxiliary input jacks for laptops and tablets, and wireless PA microphones for announcements from the front. Select models also feature 110V power outlets at every row, USB charging ports, and 4G/LTE Wi-Fi hotspots with data packages suitable for streaming. Younger passengers will appreciate having access to movies, music, and games during the journey, while older teens can stay connected to social media and messaging apps.
Additional amenities include full-length luggage bays under the floor for storing duffel bags and backpacks, plus optional restroom facilities with toilet and sink. By keeping the cabin comfortable and the riders entertained, you’ll cut down on rest stops and keep your trip running on schedule.
Day Trip and Excursion Transportation
Summer camp isn’t just about what happens on site—it’s also about exploring the world beyond. If your program includes off-campus excursions to local attractions, let us handle the driving while you focus on supervision and engagement. We provide affordable day-trip transportation to destinations throughout the greater Sacramento area, including museums, parks, swimming pools, and cultural landmarks.
Popular outing ideas include visits to the California State Capitol building, the Sacramento Zoo in Land Park, the Crocker Art Museum downtown, and the interactive exhibits at Fairytale Town. For outdoor adventures, schedule a hike along the American River Parkway, a picnic at William Land Regional Park, or a beach day at Folsom Lake State Recreation Area. Our drivers know the best routes to each location and will drop your group off steps from the entrance.
With a private bus at your disposal, you can plan multiple stops in a single day without worrying about public transit schedules or carpool logistics. Store packed lunches and extra gear in the overhead racks, and use the PA system to lead songs and games between destinations. At the end of the outing, every camper returns to campus accounted for and ready to share new experiences.
Pre-camp and Post-camp Airport Transfers
Serving international staff members flying in from overseas? Coordinating arrivals for domestic counselors landing at Sacramento International Airport (SMF)? Streamline your pre-camp and post-camp logistics with a private airport transfer that runs exclusively on your timetable. We offer curbside pickup and drop-off at all terminals, eliminating the need for expensive taxis or inconvenient hotel shuttles.
Out-of-state campers who arrive by plane can also benefit from this service. Instead of navigating baggage claim alone, they’ll be greeted by a friendly representative and escorted directly to the waiting bus. Groups arriving on the same flight can travel together to the main camp facility, while those with staggered schedules can relax in a comfortable lounge area until departure.
By consolidating airport runs into a single chartered vehicle, you’ll reduce costs, simplify communication, and ensure that everyone starts the session together. It’s a professional touch that sets your program apart and makes a positive first impression on newcomers.
On-campus Shuttles for Large Properties
If your summer camp occupies a sprawling property with cabins, dining halls, and activity centers spread out over several acres, consider implementing an on-campus shuttle system to help people get around. This is especially useful for younger children who may have difficulty walking long distances, as well as for transporting sports equipment, musical instruments, and art supplies between venues.
Smaller minibuses can run continuous loops along designated pathways, stopping at key locations such as the waterfront, climbing wall, and horseback riding arena. During inclement weather, the shuttle provides shelter from rain and heat, keeping the daily schedule intact. Accessibility features like wheelchair lifts and priority seating ensure that all participants can take advantage of the service.
For camps hosting special events like talent shows and closing ceremonies, extra buses can be deployed to handle the increased volume of traffic. Parents attending these gatherings will appreciate the convenience of being shuttled from remote parking lots to the main amphitheater without having to navigate unfamiliar roads on foot.
