Building Bus Community: The Human Approach to a Better Transportation Experience

This presentation will explore how a focus on human connection and community-building can transform the bus experience for day campers. While logistics like efficiency and safety are paramount, we often overlook the social dynamics that shape a child’s daily commute. By shifting our approach from simply transporting campers to fostering a sense of community on board, we can significantly improve the overall experience of not just our campers, but also our bus staff and drivers.
Our focus will be centered not only on how community building makes the bus ride more enjoyable but also helps reduce behavioral issues and reinforces a sense of belonging among campers, bus staff, and drivers, creating a lasting positive impact that extends far beyond the bus ride and camp season.
