Why Camps Choose Bellingham Coach Bus Service
With years of experience providing transportation for youth organizations, schools, sports teams, and more, Bellingham Coach Bus Service understands exactly what it takes to keep your summer camp running smoothly. We offer one of the largest fleets in the state, with vehicles ranging from 15-passenger minibuses perfect for counselor outings to 56-passenger charter buses ideal for moving large groups of campers and staff. Our reservation specialists are available 24/7/365 to answer questions, provide quotes, and help you build a custom transportation plan that fits your schedule and budget.
When you book with us, you get access to modern buses equipped with amenities like reclining seats, climate control, onboard restrooms, WiFi, power outlets, and TV monitors with DVD players—perfect for keeping kids comfortable and entertained on long rides. We can also arrange ADA-accessible vehicles with features like wheelchair lifts, priority seating, and extra handrails upon request.
Charter Buses for Every Type of Camp
No two camps are exactly alike, which is why we offer such a wide variety of bus types and sizes. Traditional overnight camps like Camp Firwood and Camp Kirby often prefer full-size charter buses that can carry up to 56 passengers plus all their luggage, sleeping bags, and sports equipment. These buses have undercarriage storage bays for large items and overhead racks for smaller bags, making it easy to keep the aisleways clear.
Day camps based in Bellingham, Ferndale, or Lynden might opt for smaller minibuses or mid-size coaches that seat between 18 and 35 people. These are great for short trips to local parks, museums, or swimming pools, and can navigate narrow city streets more easily than larger vehicles. Specialty camps—like those focused on music, theater, or STEM—will appreciate having a private bus available for field trips to places like the Mount Baker Theatre, SPARK Museum of Electrical Invention, or Western Washington University.
Field Trip Transportation Made Easy
Summer is the perfect time for field trips, and a charter bus rental is the easiest way to get your campers there and back safely. Take your group hiking in the Chuckanut Mountains, exploring tide pools at Larrabee State Park, or berry picking at a local farm without worrying about carpool logistics or parking. Planning an educational outing? Visit the Bellingham Railway Museum, Marine Life Center, or Whatcom Museum and let your campers enjoy the ride with movies, games, and snacks on board.
For longer excursions, such as a day trip to Seattle’s Woodland Park Zoo or the Pacific Science Center, your charter bus will keep everyone comfortable with reclining seats, climate control, and an onboard restroom. You can even use the PA system to make announcements or lead sing-alongs as you travel down I-5. With a private bus, your schedule is completely up to you—no need to worry about missing the last public transit connection or splitting your group between multiple vehicles.
Comfortable Buses With Modern Amenities
Keep your campers happy and entertained during transit with a charter bus equipped with all the latest amenities. Full-size coaches feature plush reclining seats, individual reading lights, and powerful air conditioning to beat the summer heat. Overhead monitors and DVD players let you screen movies or educational videos, while free WiFi and USB outlets allow older kids to stream content or play games on their devices.
If you’re traveling a long distance—such as an overnight trip to Olympic National Park or a multi-day excursion to Eastern Washington—your bus will have a lavatory on board for convenience. There’s plenty of storage space under the bus for coolers, sports gear, or musical instruments, and additional room inside for backpacks and personal items. Minibuses offer many of the same features in a smaller package, ideal for short hops around town or shuttle service between camp and pick-up points.
Affordable Rates and Flexible Scheduling
We know that most summer camps operate on tight budgets, which is why we offer some of the most competitive rates in the industry. When you request a quote, we’ll take into account factors like the size of your group, the distance you’ll be traveling, and the duration of your rental to give you an accurate estimate with no hidden fees. Need transportation every day for six weeks? We can set up a recurring shuttle at a discounted rate. Only need a bus for one special event? We’re happy to accommodate short-term bookings as well.
Our flexible scheduling options mean you can arrange pick-up and drop-off times that work for your camp’s agenda. Whether you start bright and early or run activities late into the evening, your charter bus will be there when you need it. Last-minute changes are no problem either—just give us a call and we’ll do our best to adjust your reservation.
