Why Camps Choose Charter Bus Company Ames
Charter Bus Company Ames has been serving summer camps and youth organizations across Iowa since 2011. We know how important it is to keep your campers, counselors, and staff moving on time and together—and we’re here to make your job easier! Our reservation specialists are available 24/7/365 to answer questions, update your itinerary, and provide instant quotes tailored to your exact needs. Whether you’re running a day camp at Brookside Park, an overnight program at Ames Middle School, or a specialty camp at McFarland Park, we’ll build a custom transportation plan that keeps everyone on schedule and accounted for.
Daily Camp Shuttles Built Around Your Schedule
Public transportation in Ames isn’t always convenient for reaching campgrounds outside the city center—and relying on parents to carpool can lead to late arrivals and missed connections. With a private bus rental from Charter Bus Company Ames, you set the schedule and we stick to it. Arrange morning pick-ups at multiple locations across Ames, Nevada, or Huxley, then drop everyone off at your campsite entrance right on time. At the end of the day, your bus will be waiting to take campers back to their designated drop-off points. Running an overnight or sleepaway camp? We can provide continuous shuttle service between cabins, dining halls, and activity areas—or station a bus on-site for emergency transportation at any hour.
A few of the companies Charter Bus Company Ames has worked with
Field Trip Transportation to Parks, Museums, and More
Give your campers a summer to remember with off-site excursions to some of Iowa’s top attractions! Take a day trip to Reiman Gardens to explore 17 acres of themed plant collections and butterfly habitats, or head to the Iowa Arboretum in Madrid for hands-on environmental education. History buffs will love touring the Boone & Scenic Valley Railroad, while animal lovers can spend the afternoon at Blank Park Zoo in Des Moines. With a private charter bus, you can plan as many field trips as you want without worrying about logistics—your bus will get you there and back safely, comfortably, and on time.
Comfortable and Modern Buses for Any Size Group
No two camps are exactly alike—which is why we offer such a wide range of bus sizes and configurations. Need to move 100+ campers from Jack Trice Stadium to Hickory Grove Park? Book a fleet of 56-passenger charter buses with undercarriage storage for coolers, tents, and sports equipment. Running a small STEM camp at Iowa State University? A single 25-passenger minibus will do the trick. All vehicles come equipped with cushioned seats, climate control, and PA systems for announcements. Upgrade your ride with optional amenities like WiFi, power outlets, DVD players, and onboard restrooms—or request an ADA-accessible bus with a wheelchair lift and priority seating.
Support for Counselors and Staff
Counselors are the backbone of any successful camp—and they deserve a little comfort after a long day wrangling kids in the Iowa heat. Give your team a place to relax and recharge by reserving a separate bus just for staff members. While campers are busy with arts and crafts, counselors can enjoy some quiet time in an air-conditioned cabin, catch up on emails using free WiFi, or stretch out across multiple seats for a quick nap. For overnight camps, use your charter bus to shuttle staff into town for grocery runs, laundry drop-offs, or well-earned nights off at local restaurants and bars.
Flexible Contracts and Transparent Pricing
We know that budgets are tight and plans can change at a moment’s notice—especially during an Iowa summer storm. That’s why we offer flexible rental contracts that can be adjusted to fit your camp’s evolving needs. Add extra buses for peak weeks, scale back during slower sessions, or modify your route map as new activities are added. Our pricing is transparent and all-inclusive, meaning you’ll never be hit with hidden fees or surprise charges.
