Baggage and Transportation

All Session 1 and Full Summer campers must pre-ship their baggage to camp. There are 2 options available:

Iroquois Springs Baggage Service (NJ, Rockland, Maryland, NYC, Westchester, and Long Island):  Iroquois Springs baggage service is a regional baggage pickup service where our truck along with Iroquois Springs staff will meet you at various locations, and will help you get your bags from your car to the luggage truck. This is a REGIONAL pickup, not door-­to-­door. This service can be used for round trip service or one-­way service.  It is the most economical way to ship baggage and as this service is provided by Iroquois Springs, baggage goes directly to camp.

The cost is $150 one-way & $225 round trip.

Camp Baggage has partnered with Iroquois Springs to provide regional service to our MD and FL families for the first time!
(6/21 FL, 6/23 MD)

Camp Baggage will also offer door-to-door service for those families in the Tri-State, MD, or Florida who prefer that extra convenience. If you choose Camp Baggage, in addition to clicking the drop-down menu below, you will need to register with Camp Baggage for their service and pay separately.  (Please note, campers who want regional service in MD and FL must use Camp Baggage)

If you will be using FedEx, UPS, or DHL to get your child’s belongings to camp, please opt for “ShipCamps” in the dropdown list on the Parent Dashboard. 

Please remember to submit your child’s baggage method in the forms section of the Parent Dashboard.
