Camp Ramaquois is Manhattan’s Most Convenient Day Camp!
Manhattan / NYC Summer Day Camp
Transportation that is Safe, Fun, and Convenient!
Summers spent at Ramaquois can positively influence a child’s entire life. Manhattan parents often ask about the ride to camp. Is their child ready for the bus? Will they be bored? Is it safe?
Ramaquois has been safely providing door-to-door transportation to every part of Manhattan for over 25 years. Our experience is that campers thrive on the bus! It is an opportunity to be social, and each bus becomes a family. The bus counselors keep the campers seat belted and having fun. Our drivers are career school bus drivers. They drive buses all year long.
For our families that live on the Upper East Side, Upper West Side, Midtown East, and Lower West Side of Manhattan, we offer an additional Express Bus transportation option.

Which option is right for your family?
Traditional Door-to-Door Transportation might be appropriate if:
- Your family doesn’t live on the Upper East Side, Upper West Side, Midtown East or Lower West Side in NYC
- The convenience of pick-up in front of your building is a priority
- It would be inconvenient to walk to a central bus stop
Express Bus Transportation might be appropriate if:
- You live close enough to an express bus stop and you don’t mind the walk
- Your child would prefer the shortest and most comfortable ride possible
- Your child would like to ride the bus with a friend that wouldn’t normally be on the same bus route
- A bathroom on the bus is important to your family
- Your family lives south of Chambers Street / Brooklyn Bridge
Both options utilize the Palisades Parkway to drive to Camp Ramaquois.
