The bus leaves the Cornell Cooperative Extension office at 480 N. Main St., Canandaigua at 8:30am and returns at 4:30pm daily, Monday through Friday morning. Please arrive a few minutes early to ensure a timely departure in the morning, and be waiting for them when they return. This bus does NOT operate on Friday afternoon. Parents must pick up their children at camp on Friday. Parents should indicate on the application whether they plan to use the shuttle service, or drop their child off directly at camp.
