ARRIVAL TIME
In order to ensure that the traffic flows smoothly and we can limit the time you are waiting in your vehicle, we ask that you arrive at your assigned arrival time. Your arrival time can be found on your travel itinerary. The buses will depart PNC Bank at 7:45 AM and the buses leave on time! Please note that bus drop-off times and bus assignments are not correlated with camper cabin assignments
DRIVE THROUGH CHECK-IN
Follow the direction of the Camp Ozark staff to pull into a check-in lane. You will be greeted by a Camp Ozark Staff member who will:
- Collect any EpiPens, inhalers, or medicine prescribed within the last 7 days. No over the counter medications, vitamins, or supplements will be accepted on Opening Day of camp.
- Provide your camper with their bus assignment.
- Direct you to the camper boarding area and luggage unloading area.
CAMPER BOARDING
Camp Ozark staff will direct you to the camper unloading and bus boarding area. Please be sure your camper has everything they want on the bus with them organized and ready to go, as they will be getting out of the car and on the bus at this point. No adults will be allowed in the bus boarding area.
LUGGAGE
Camp Ozark staff will direct you to luggage unloading areas. Parents/guardians should remain in the car for luggage unloading by the Camp Ozark staff. Please be sure your luggage is organized in the back of your vehicle in a manner that allows for efficient unloading and promotes continuous traffic flow. Be sure that ALL items going to camp are labeled with the camper’s first and last name. Please note that your camper’s luggage does not need to go on the bus that your camper is riding on. All luggage will be unloaded, sorted, and distributed to the correct cabin upon arrival at Camp Ozark.
DEPART THE PARKING LOT
We ask that you please depart the loading area after checking in and unloading luggage, so we can continue our drive through check-in processes efficiently.
