Extended Care & Transportation

You deserve a break during summer, too. To help with your mornings and afternoons, we offer bus transportation to our Dunwoody location. Don’t be surprised if your camper actually looks forward to the bus rides with friends, favorite counselors, camp cheers, and impromptu song sessions.

Our bus service is provided by an experienced and licensed transportation company, and background checks are required for all drivers. There are also MJCCA Day Camps counselors on every bus!

We offer bus transportation to MJCCA Day Camps in Dunwoody from about 20 locations in Sandy Springs, Johns Creek, Roswell, Alpharetta, East Cobb, Brookhaven, and more! You can find the bus routes here. The pick-up time listed on the bus schedule version in your CampInTouch account is the time the bus will depart. Please arrive at least 5 minutes earlier. This will be posted in your account in May.

Bus transportation is offered at a cost of $30 per child, per week for members and $40 per child, per week for the community. Depending on space, families choosing a Dunwoody bus stop may be assigned to a nearby Dunwoody bus stop. Bus stops are subject to change.

• Any changes to a camper’s afternoon dismissal must be communicated through the camp email by 11:00 am that day
• Each camper will receive a dismissal number for the summer – you must give this number to our staff when you pick up your camper from carpool, the bus stop, After Camp Care, or through early pick-ups. We will not release campers to anyone without their dismissal number. Your child’s dismissal number will be listed in your weekly welcome emails.

Bus

Bus transportation must be registered for in advance. If you are picking up children at a bus stop, you must provide the bus counselor(s) with your dismissal number as well as the dismissal number of any other camper you are picking up. Please arrive 5 minutes early to the bus stop. If there is no one at the bus stop to pick up your child, he/she will stay on the bus and can be picked up at each subsequent stop of their bus route. If your child has not been picked up by the end of the bus route, they will be taken back to the camp office. PLEASE NOTE: The buses depart BEFORE carpool begins. If there is a day that your camper should not ride the bus home and you do not submit an email to camps@atlantajcc.org to let our office know, they will be sent home on their regular bus.

After-Camp Care

After-Camp Care takes place in the main building. After-Camp Care runs until 6:00 pm and we ask that you please do not come before 4:45 pm to pick up so that we can clear the carpool lines first. Prior registration is required for After-Camp Care.

Post Camp Activities

If your camper is participating in an activity at the MJCCA after the camp day, please submit an email to camps@atlantajcc.org to indicate which activity should attend. As a reminder, we send Swim Team participants directly to the outdoor pool daily unless the camp office receives written communication otherwise. A separate registration form and payment is required in order to attend one of these programs.

We understand that you’re not all as lucky as your kids regarding summer time. Your busy lives continue even when the school year stops. To help make your life easier, we offer before- and after-camp care and bus transportation.

*At 8:45 am, campers will transition from before-camp care and begin to join their groups to start their day of fun!
