Stress-Free Transportation for Your Entire Team

Why Choose Champaign Minibus Company for Summer Camp Transportation?

When you book with Champaign Minibus Company, you’re getting more than just a bus—you’re getting years of experience and expertise moving large groups of kids safely and efficiently. We’ve worked with camps like YMCA Camp Benson, Camp Ondessonk, and Girl Scouts of Central Illinois to coordinate everything from daily field trips to overnight excursions across state lines. Our team understands the unique challenges of transporting children—including strict pickup/drop-off times, dietary restrictions, and medical equipment storage—and we’ll make sure every detail is covered before departure.

We also offer some of the most flexible rental packages in the industry. Need a last-minute shuttle for an extra swim lesson? No problem. Want to add WiFi so counselors can send real-time updates to parents? Just ask. With us, you’re always in control of your itinerary—and we’ll do whatever it takes to keep your campers happy and comfortable on the road.

Easy Travel Throughout Champaign

A Fleet Built for Summer Camps

Our diverse fleet has something for every type of summer camp program. For short-distance shuttles within Champaign-Urbana, choose one of our minibuses (15–35 seats) equipped with reclining seats, air conditioning, and overhead racks for backpacks. These are perfect for daily loops between campus housing at University of Illinois and activity centers like Sholem Aquatic Center or Spurlock Museum.

Planning a multi-day adventure to Starved Rock State Park or Six Flags Great America? Upgrade to a full-size charter bus (47–56 seats) with undercarriage luggage bays, onboard restrooms, DVD players, and power outlets at each row. Your campers can watch movies, charge devices, and stretch out while covering long distances without unnecessary stops.

We even have ADA-accessible options featuring wheelchair lifts, wider aisles, and priority seating areas—because every child deserves access to outdoor fun regardless of mobility level.

Custom Schedules That Match Your Itinerary

No two camps run on exactly the same timetable—which is why we let you set the agenda from start to finish. Unlike public transit or school district contracts that operate on fixed routes, our private charters go wherever and whenever you need them to. Schedule early-morning pickups at Douglass Community Center, midday drop-offs at Anita Purves Nature Center, and late-night returns after a movie screening downtown—all in one seamless loop.

If your program includes multiple age groups with staggered activities, we can dispatch separate vehicles to different locations simultaneously. For example: send younger kids to Urbana Free Library while teens volunteer at Eastern Illinois Foodbank, then regroup everyone back at camp headquarters by dinnertime. Just provide us with a master calendar, and we’ll synchronize the transportation accordingly.
