Transportation
We have arranged for motorcoach transportation from the New York area at the following location:
NATHAN'S RESTAURANT, YONKERS, N.Y. (Central Park Ave.)
Departure at l0:00 A.M.
From the South: Take the New York State Thruway North and exit at Route 100 (Central Ave north towards White Plains). Follow Route 100 north for a few miles and Nathan's will be on the right side.
From the North: Take the Sprain Brook Parkway south to the Jackson Ave exit. At the top of the exit ramp, turn left and go over the parkway. Travel approximately one mile to a "T" at Central Ave. Turn right onto Central Ave and Nathan's will be on your left side about 100 yards south of Jackson Ave.
Please be aware of the following bus "pickup" procedures:
1. We will be leaving promptly at the above listed time.
2. Other camps may have buses at the same pickup location, so please make certain that you are placing your child/children onto the proper bus. Our buses will be chaperoned by Eagle Hill staff members wearing Staff T-shirts.
3. We ask that all camp parents provide supervision and care for their child(ren) at our pickup location prior to the actual departure of the buses.
For those campers starting camp on June 24th, you will be able to elect a method of transporting your child/children to camp on this date. Please return our transportation form found under the Parents’ section of our website. Campers arriving on July 21st will receive information on transportation to camp during July.
Please note that only small carry-on items may be transported to camp on the buses. For larger items, we suggest that you consider three ways of getting your child’s luggage to camp prior to June 24th:
(A) “CAMP TRUCKING" – available for the start and end of summer only. Please see the “Camp Trucking” form for additional details.
(B) UPS – Please contact your local office for all needed details. Or
(C) You may bring the luggage to camp during the week prior to the start of the camp season.
If using a service to get your luggage to camp, please make certain that you are sending the luggage with enough time ahead of your child’s arrival at camp. As the arrival of luggage to camp will be your responsibility, we ask that you take all needed steps to properly secure, label, and insure (if available) all luggage items so that your luggage delivery service will be handled without issue.
While all children are expected to come to camp by bus, some families will be bringing their children and luggage to camp on Opening Day and we ask that these families plan their arrival at camp between 10:45 and 11:45 A.M. The drop-off of the children and their luggage will take place at our gymnasium, Big Red, and we will distribute the luggage to the bunks from there. Due to the volume of activity on Opening Day, we cannot provide opportunities for touring the camp or visiting your child's bunk. In addition, please do not bring to camp, or place inside your child’s luggage, anything from our “DO NOT SEND TO CAMP” list on the enclosed Clothing List.
FOR THOSE CAMPERS JOINING US ON JULY 21st: We do provide transportation from the Yonkers pickup location on this date. The bus will depart at approximately 1:15 P.M. If you would like, you may drive your child and his or her luggage to camp on this date. For those driving to camp, we will be asking you to plan your arrival for the late afternoon, no earlier than 3 P.M. We will be giving you more details on this in a letter to your family during early July. You can detail your transportation plans to us after the receipt of
