Why Choose Waukesha Charter Bus for Summer Camp Transportation?
When you book with Waukesha Charter Bus, you’re getting more than just a bus—you’re getting over 15 years of industry expertise, access to one of the largest fleets in Wisconsin, and a company that puts customer service first. We’ve worked with camps of every size and type, from small day programs to large residential camps running multiple sessions per summer. Need references? We’ve helped groups like the Waukesha YMCA, Carroll University athletics, Elmbrook Schools, and Milwaukee-area synagogues and churches run successful trips in and out of Waukesha County.
If you’ve ever tried moving 100 kids on yellow school buses down a gravel road in the Kettle Moraine State Forest, you know it doesn’t always go smoothly. Parents get stuck behind the convoy, luggage ends up in the wrong pile, and nobody’s quite sure which backpack belongs to whom. That’s where we come in. We provide reliable, comfortable, and fully customizable transportation solutions that make camp arrivals and departures run like clockwork.
From the moment you request a quote until the last camper heads home, our reservation specialists work with you to plan the perfect itinerary, select the right vehicles, and coordinate every detail of your trip. Got a tight budget? We’ll help you find cost-effective options without sacrificing quality. Need extra buses for a big session change? We’ll make it happen. Last-minute schedule change? We’re available 24/7/365 to assist you before, during, and after your trip.
Comfortable and Modern Buses for Every Type of Camp Trip
We know that no two camps are alike—which is why we offer a wide range of vehicles to fit your exact needs. Our fleet includes 18-, 20-, 25-, and 56-passenger buses from top manufacturers like Van Hool, MCI, Prevost, and Temsa, with multiple floor plans available. Smaller minibuses (18–25 seats) are ideal for airport shuttles, off-site field trips, or transporting staff and CITs to training sessions. Larger coaches (up to 56 seats) are perfect for moving entire cabins or age groups at once, with room underneath for duffel bags, sleeping bags, and sports equipment.
Unlike traditional school buses, our charter buses come equipped with reclining seats, individual reading lights, air conditioning, and optional amenities like Wi-Fi, power outlets, video monitors, and PA systems. Restroom-equipped models are available for longer trips to the Northwoods or out-of-state destinations. Need something special? Just ask—we can provide buses wrapped with your camp logo, upgraded upholstery packages, or custom seating configurations to accommodate different age groups.
Customizable Schedules and Itineraries Built Around Your Program
One of the biggest advantages of renting a private bus is the ability to set your own schedule. Unlike fixed-route transportation, we operate on your timetable—not the other way around. That means you can choose exactly when and where you want to be picked up, dropped off, and everything in between.
Hosting a day camp at the Waukesha County Expo Center or the Milwaukee County Sports Complex? We’ll run daily shuttles from local neighborhoods and park-and-ride lots. Running a sleepaway program at Camp Whitcomb/Mason, Camp Anokijig, or a property in northern Wisconsin? We’ll handle opening-day drop-offs, mid-session parent visits, and end-of-summer pickups. Need to get campers to the airport or Amtrak station? We’ll make sure everyone catches their flight or train on time.
Our team will work with you to create a detailed itinerary that covers every aspect of your trip, including meal stops, rest breaks, and overnight accommodations if needed. We’ve navigated the back roads of Waukesha County and the highways to the Northwoods countless times—we know the fastest routes, the best places to stop, and how to keep large groups moving efficiently.
Affordable Pricing With Flexible Packages for Any Budget
We understand that transportation is a significant expense for most camps—but it doesn’t have to break the bank. At Waukesha Charter Bus, we offer competitive rates and flexible pricing packages designed to fit any budget. You can choose to rent a bus by the hour, by the day, or for the entire session, depending on what makes the most sense for your program.
To get an accurate quote, simply provide us with your proposed itinerary, including pickup and drop-off locations, dates, and the number of passengers. We’ll quickly generate a personalized estimate and help you compare different options to find the best value. Once you’re ready to book, you can secure your reservation with a deposit and pay the balance before your trip begins. Additional discounts may be available for nonprofit organizations, multi-bus rentals, or off-peak travel dates—be sure to ask our agents about current promotions.
Field Trips, Airport Transfers, and Off-site Excursions Made Easy
Camps don’t just stay in one place—they go on adventures. Whether you’re taking a day trip to the Milwaukee County Zoo, Discovery World, Summerfest, or American Family Field; shuttling campers to and from General Mitchell International Airport; or running a wilderness excursion in the Kettle Moraine State Forest, we’ll get you there and back without the hassle of coordinating multiple vehicles.
For camps that serve international participants or out-of-state families, our airport transfer service is a game-changer. Instead of navigating baggage claim with a dozen teenagers, you can pre-arrange a private shuttle that meets your group at the terminal and delivers them directly to camp. It’s faster, cheaper, and far less stressful than relying on public transportation or rideshare apps.
