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 when the bus departs 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 via email or website update.
Please send a note with your camper in the morning for any of the following reasons:
- 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 of your registered session; if a change is made during the camp week, a fee of $15 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 copy of the bill for their time and the other copy will go to the office. Please make checks payable to Whippoorwill Farm Day Camp and pay within 24 hours.
Policy for Bus Drop-Offs in the Afternoon
When the bus arrives in the afternoon, all campers will line up on the side of the bus and wait for a parent or guardian to physically pick up the camper. The bus counselor will stand with them and must see the parent or guardian comes to the bus to pick them up.

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.
