COMING TO CAMP:

FOR THE JUNE & MAIN SESSIONS:

BATON ROUGE:  The plan is to leave from Baton Rouge by approximately 7:30 PM the day before camp begins.  Be a half an hour early.  We will meet at the same location as last year, in the area in front of the Subway 225-926-8855 (Used to be Cici’s Pizza), 5220 Corporate Blvd in the Esplanade Shopping Center at the corner of Corporate and College.  The motor Coach should be near the back.

MANDEVILLE/COVINGTON:  We will stop in Mandeville at about 8:45 PM at the Holiday Square Shopping Center at I-12 and 190.

OTHER STOPS:  If there are campers to board in another city along the way, we might be able to arrange that (You must contact us with a specific easy-on/easy-off exit and fool-proof instructions). 

CLOSING DAY – RETURNING HOME – Motor coach leaves camp for Louisiana at approx 7:30 AM

We find these motor coaches are somewhat unpredictable due to traffic, weather, meals, road construction, etc.  The motor coaches can run later than the estimates.   On departure day we put adjusted arrival time information here on this webpage to make your pick-up easier.

ARRIVE HOME in COVINGTON/MANDEVILLE AT THE SAME  LOCATION AS DEPARTURE – HOLIDAY SQUARE SHOPPING CENTER SOMETIME BETWEEN 5 and 9 PM – Again, see this webpage for regular updates on arrival times.

ARRIVE HOME in BATON ROUGE AT THE SAME SUBWAY 225-926-8855 (used to be CiCi’s Pizza, 5260 Corporate Blvd. (225) 201-0611 (in the Esplanade Mall) near the corner of Corporate Blvd & College.)  PARKING LOT APPROXIMATELY 9:15 PM

Rules are on the BUS to CAMP Page.

Luggage information is on the BUS to CAMP Page.
