We offer financial assistance to families who need help due to a financial hardship. After the team reviews your application, they will determine if your student qualifies for a reduced rate and the amount. Our funding is limited, so a reduced rate is not guaranteed.

frequently asked questions

Will phones or smartwatches be allowed for this event?

In order to maximize your student’s overall camp experience and limit distractions, all cell phones and smartwatches will be collected at check-in on Friday. (We prefer that they leave these at home.) Small group leaders will keep them in a bag in case of an emergency and return them after we leave camp on Sunday. You can contact your student’s small group leaders or a Transit staff member if you need to reach your student in the event of an emergency.

How will parents be contacted in case of an emergency?

Someone on our staff will call the phone number you provided us when you registered your student.

What if my student has a food allergy?

Please indicate this in your student’s registration. We will do our best to accommodate your student’s food allergy.

Will there be a medical professional at 6th Grade Camp?

Yes. We will have nurses present throughout the event. If your student is on medication, we will collect their medication at check-in along with instructions for administering the medication. Our nurses, along with your student’s small group leaders, will help ensure your student takes their medication correctly.

What’s the dress code?

Tops must have straps and be full-length. Shorts should be an appropriate length.
One piece bathing suits for girls. Full-length, loose-fitting swim trunks for guys.

What is the student/leader ratio?

Although we do not know the exact ratios until after registration closes, we like to have one leader for every eight students.

How do you determine the cost per student for your events?

Many factors play into this decision, and parents are often surprised to learn that our events do not pay for themselves. There is a portion of our yearly Transit budget that supplements the event cost. Some cost factors include: facility rental, transportation, camp production, medical professionals, security, lifeguards, and much more. Also, since we ask so much of our small group leaders, we use the cost of registration to cover their expenses for attending. So, when you pay for your student to attend one of our events, a portion of that money is used to cover the cost of their small group leader.

What is the cancellation policy?

Cancellations made between Sunday, May 21, and Thursday, August 17, will receive a full refund. Cancellations sent after check-in on Friday, August 18, will receive no refund of any kind.
