Camp Monroe offers camper transportation to and from day camps from 2 area locations: Southern Pines and Raeford.

$30 per week per camper, Monday a.m. to Friday p.m. Seating is limited and is offered on a first come first served basis. Each Camp Monroe bus has 15 passengers (driver + 1 staff = 13 potential seats to fill). If a bus has less than 5 campers riding on the bus, the route will be canceled.

Add during online registration, or at any time, by logging into your account. If you do not see it as an add-on option for the Day Camp week of your choosing, we are not offering it that week due to availability or interest.
