Groups are responsible for arranging their own transportation to and from HIS Work Camp; groups may either drive their own vehicles, rent vans, or sign up to ride a charter bus sponsored by the Synod.

**Please note, all vehicles will be needed to transport teams to and from work projects each day.

Synod Busing

Youth leaders have the option to sign groups up for busing online until (TBA), 2019.  Bus transportation sponsored by the Synod are based on a first come, first serve basis.  Bus spots will be held upon full payment.

COST: $290/person

Policies & Procedures

Once all bus reservations have been collected, youth groups will be notified of the exact time and location of their pick-up.

Buses must be filled to near capacity to be most cost-effective.  We try to keep youth groups together on the same bus; some groups may be split up in order to fill the buses to capacity.

• In an attempt to keep busing cost down and group unity as a value, there will only be ONE pick-up point per bus.  This will require travel to the pick-up point for some groups.
• We will keep the group splits to a minimum!  We try to avoid it altogether if possible, but special situations may require some flexibility and understanding.  Busing for Rocky is  a HUGE organizational project.
• If two or more youth groups ride the same bus, the group living in pick-up location is the group that will be split.  This decision was based on the fact that group(s) who travel have a disadvantage over the group being picked up in their hometown.

In the case of higher fuel costs, Synod of the Heartland reserves the right to pass along extra fuel costs to churches using Synod busing.

Buses contracted by the Synod will also be used to transport teams to their work projects each day.
