Bus Routes

Poly Summer partners with DiMino Bus Service, Inc. to provide a safe and reliable, round-trip transportation option to campers. All buses are staffed with an experienced driver and one or more bus attendants who work to create the best possible experience for each camper.

The fee for bus transportation is charged in addition to camp tuition, and payments are made directly to DiMino Bus Service as outlined in our bus registration procedures.
