Why Summer Camps Choose Charter Bus Company Meriden
For over a decade, Charter Bus Company Meriden has been the company youth programs across Connecticut trust when they need reliable, affordable transportation—whether it’s a day camp run by the Meriden YMCA, a sleepaway program in Litchfield County, or a sports camp based out of Ceppa Field or Falcon Field. We know how much work goes into running a successful summer, and we’re committed to making your job easier with custom bus rentals you can count on. Our team is available 24/7/365 to answer questions, adjust schedules, and provide support before, during, and after your trip.
We’ve helped dozens of camps organize everything from daily commuter shuttles for staff who live in Hartford or New Haven, to multi-bus convoys for all-camp outings to Lake Compounce, Six Flags New England, or the Mystic Aquarium. When you book with us, you get access to one of the largest fleets in the state, including vehicles from top manufacturers like Van Hool, Prevost, MCI, and Temsa. If you have specific requests—such as a certain bus model, extra luggage space for sports equipment, or tinted windows for movie nights—we’ll make it happen.
Custom Packages for Any Size Camp
No two camps are exactly alike, which is why we offer fully customizable transportation packages tailored to your specific schedule and headcount. Need a 56-passenger coach bus with WiFi and USB outlets for a weeklong trip to Lake Compounce? Or a fleet of minibuses to run continuous loops between Hubbard Park, Giuffrida Park, and your main site on Broad Street? We can do both—and everything in between. Choose from amenities like reclining seats, flat-screen TVs, power outlets, PA systems for announcements, and even onboard restrooms to minimize stops on longer journeys.
If you’re running a sleepaway camp outside Meriden—like Camp Laurelwood in Madison or Holiday Hill in Mansfield—we can arrange round-trip service for opening and closing days, plus any offsite excursions during the session. For day camps, we’ll set up recurring shuttles that pick up and drop off at locations convenient for parents, such as the Meriden Mall parking lot, local schools, or community centers in Wallingford and Cheshire. Just send us your itinerary, and we’ll handle the rest.
A few of the companies Charter Bus Company Meriden has worked with
Comfortable Buses With Room for Everyone
Keeping kids comfortable and entertained is easier when you have a modern charter bus equipped with the right features. Our most popular option for summer camps is the full-size, 56-passenger motorcoach, which comes standard with cushioned reclining seats, individual reading lights, strong air conditioning, overhead parcel racks, and underfloor luggage bays big enough for coolers, first aid kits, and sports gear. Many models also include free Wi-Fi, 110V power outlets or USB ports at each row, video monitors linked to a DVD player or HDMI input, and a clean restroom at the rear of the cabin.
For shorter routes or smaller groups, we also offer minibuses that seat anywhere from 18 to 35 passengers. These are great for shuttling campers between activity sites within Hubbard Park, making quick runs to the pool at Ceppa Field, or serving as a backup vehicle in case of emergency. While minibuses don’t have a bathroom, they’re nimble in city traffic and still offer strong A/C plus storage for backpacks.
Flexible Scheduling and Last-minute Changes
We know that summer camp schedules can change at a moment’s notice due to weather, staffing, or other unforeseen circumstances. That’s why we pride ourselves on being one of the most flexible charter bus companies in Meriden. Need to add an extra pickup location in Wallingford? Extend service by a week because parents asked for it? Move departure times earlier to beat the heat? Just call our dispatch line, and we’ll make it happen—often without any additional fees if it’s within reason. We’re also used to dealing with last-minute bookings, so if your usual transportation falls through, don’t hesitate to reach out. We can often arrange a replacement bus within hours thanks to our large fleet and network of affiliate partners across Connecticut.
Affordable Rates
Budgeting for summer camp is hard enough without having to worry about unclear pricing. When you request a quote from Charter Bus Company Meriden, you’ll get a straightforward, all-inclusive rate based on the size of the bus, duration of the rental, and total mileage. Everything is spelled out in advance. We offer some of the most competitive rates in the Meriden area, especially for long-term contracts spanning multiple weeks. And if you’re comparing bids from other providers, let us know—we’re happy to match or beat legitimate offers whenever possible.
We also understand that many camps operate on tight budgets, so we’re willing to work with you to get you a solution that fits. This could mean consolidating trips to reduce the number of buses needed, opting for an older model without luxury features, or setting up a payment plan that spreads costs over several installments.
Year-round Support for All Your Transportation Needs
While summer is our busiest season, we provide charter bus services to camps and youth organizations year-round. This includes fall and spring outdoor education programs, winter retreats, and special events like talent shows or holiday parties. If your camp operates during school breaks or hosts off-season gatherings, we’re happy to be your go-to transportation provider. We also work with scout troops, church groups, and after-school programs that need reliable buses for weekend camping trips or regional conferences. No matter the time of year, you can count on Charter Bus Company Meriden for professional service at a fair price.
