Bar-T provides bus transportation to and from camp each day for an additional fee of $75 per week. A Bar-T staff member meets our families at each of our transportation sites and rides the bus to and from camp to help ensure our camper’s safety. Bar-T staff will arrive 10 minutes prior to the scheduled bus departure to check our campers in and answer any questions parents may have. We ask that our parents remain on site until after the bus has departed to help ensure everyone’s safety. Our staff will help make sure that our campers reach their group with a smile on their face each morning and will remain at the transportation site each afternoon until all campers have been picked up. Check out our map to find the bus stop that is most convenient for your family.

For families that need coverage beyond the camp day, we offer extended care options at Ranch, Mountainside, Kids Camps, and select sites that allow campers to arrive as early as 7am and stay as late as 6:30pm. This extended care option is offered on a weekly basis and families can choose morning extended care ($70) and/or afternoon extended care ($90). Campers who attend extended care will not be charged a transportation fee.

Every year we create an online camp guide that has everything you need to know about attending camp at The Ranch. Our 2026 Camp Guide will be released during the Spring of 2026 and will get sent to all enrolled families, but please feel free to check out last year’s guide as much of the information remains the same. Inside our guide you will find FAQs, health forms, previous theme weeks, what to bring to camp, and so much more.
