Camp Ozark offers fully staffed luxury charter bus service from several cities in a six state area (Texas, Louisiana, Tennessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Mississippi). Several of our camp families take advantage of this extremely economical and convenient travel option. Also, it is a great way to kick-off the camp experience as campers meet new friends and connect with the Ozark staff on the trip. Incomparable Charter Bus Experience Our goal is to make the travel experience convenient and incomparable. We work together with reputable charter bus companies in trying to provide an incomparable experience based on a variety of factors including reliability, driver friendliness, professionalism and quality. In addition, Camp Ozark far exceeds the ACA (American Camping Association) recommended staff requirements of one per bus by providing THREE (3) staff members per charter bus. Travel Staff Training As part of our staff training and orientation, staff are trained on their travel supervisory responsibilities including travel safety, health, camper monitoring, emergency procedures and check-in/check-out protocols. In addition, all of our staff carry personal cell phones and camp families can track bus arrival times using Camp Ozark patented Info Stream found on the camper dashboard of your myOzark account or by downloading the “Camp Ozark Go” iPhone app for free at the iTunes app store. Electronics Restrictions Due to privacy concerns and to create an incomparable experience free and “un-tethered” from electronics, transmittable devices such as cell phones or tablets with data plans are not permitted at Camp Ozark. Non-transmittable devices such as iPod, mp3 players or tablets without data plans, are permitted while traveling but are not permitted once at Camp Ozark. Upon arrival, all electronic devices are labeled and secured and delivered back to the camper at the end of the camp session. Meals We request that all campers pack their own lunch for the trip to Camp Ozark. Camp Ozark provides lunch and a snack (where applicable) for campers traveling home from camp. All charter buses are supplied with sanitization supplies and bottled water for camper use. Luggage Tags We request that luggage be restricted to two (2) pieces, a trunk and a duffle. In addition, campers may bring a small carry on such as a back-pack or satchel. In most cabins, trunks are stored under bunks and cannot exceed 15 ½” in height. For those traveling by bus or plane, luggage tags are mailed around two weeks prior to the beginning of each camp session. Please be sure to clearly mark and tag each piece of luggage with these tags. Upon arrival, Camp Ozark Staff will unload and assist campers with their luggage. For further convenience, campers may choose to ship their luggage to and from camp via FedEx or UPS. Face Coverings Some charter bus companies may require face coverings. Camp Ozark has agreed to comply with third-party protocols for communicable disease mitigation. Face coverings are otherwise not required at Camp Ozark.
