Important: New Bus stop for the Purple Parrot!
Parents, we've had to make a last-minute change to the bus stop on the Purple Parrot route. Instead of using Hillsboro Church of Christ, we will now be picking up at Hillsboro Presbyterian Church. The church is located at 5820 Hillsboro Road, and is next to the Church of Christ. This will be a permanent change for the entire summer. The drop-off and pick-up time remains the same, with pick-up at 8:10 a.m.* and drop-off at 4:20 p.m. There will be a counselor with a sign waiting at the correct area for drop-off. Please pull into the church driveway and take the first right into the parking lot. The bus will be on the side closest to Hillsboro Road. If you have any questions, please call the camp office at 799-9925 and we will be glad to help. Sorry for the change, and thank you for understanding!
*bus departs at 8:10 - please be there a few minutes early
Whippoorwill buses pick up campers at central points in West Nashville, Brentwood, and Franklin. Note that the times listed are when the bus departs from the stop in the morning and in the afternoon. Please plan to be at your child's stop at least five minutes earlier than the posted time. If you are late, go to the next stop listed. Routes, times, and order of stops may be modified to avoid overcrowding on any one bus. Parents will be notified of any change.
Please send a note if your camper is leaving early, if you are picking up your child at camp, if someone else is picking up your child at camp or their bus stop. Please make transportation changes one week in advance; if a change is made during the camp week, a fee of $25 will be charged. Please give all notes to the bus counselor or bus driver - this is to protect your child. The bus driver will wait at the last stop with your camper until you arrive. The bus driver will allow a 5-minute courtesy time after driving to the last stop in the afternoon. After the 5 minutes, there will be a $1.00 charge per minute. The driver will give you a bill for their time; make checks payable to Whippoorwill Farm Day Camp.
Note that routes, times and order of stops may be modified. You will be informed of any change(s) in your assigned stop. Times listed are when bus DEPARTS from the stop.
