We can do that too. With Santa Maria Coach Bus Service, you get flexible, reliable, and responsive service every step of the way.

Field Trip Transportation for Summer Camps
Summer is the perfect time for field trips, and Santa Maria Coach Bus Service makes it easy to take your campers anywhere they want to go. Planning a day at the Santa Barbara Zoo or the Santa Maria Valley Discovery Museum? We’ll get you there safely and on time. Organizing a beach outing to Pismo Beach, Avila Beach, or Jalama Beach Park? Your bus will drop you off steps from the sand and pick you up when it’s time to head back. Other popular destinations include the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History, Lotusland, MOXI The Wolf Museum of Exploration + Innovation, and the Santa Ynez Valley Historical Museum.
If your camp serves teens or older youth, consider a trip to Six Flags Magic Mountain, Universal Studios Hollywood, or even a Dodgers or Angels game. With a charter bus, you don’t have to worry about navigating LA traffic or finding parking for multiple vehicles. Everyone stays together, and the fun starts as soon as you hit the road.

Camp Airport Transfers Made Easy
Many overnight camps in Santa Barbara County welcome campers from outside the area, including Los Angeles, the Bay Area, and even out of state. If your campers are flying into Santa Barbara Airport (SBA), San Luis Obispo County Regional Airport (SBP), or Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), let Santa Maria Coach Bus Service handle the airport transfers. We’ll send a bus to meet your group at the terminal, help load luggage, and provide a comfortable ride to your campsite.
For camps located in remote areas like the Los Padres National Forest or the Santa Ynez Mountains, having a private bus is essential. Public transportation doesn’t reach these spots, and parents may not be able to make the drive themselves. With a charter bus, you can offer families a convenient drop-off and pick-up option that gives them peace of mind.

Comfortable and Convenient Amenities
Keeping kids entertained on long bus rides can be a challenge, but our buses come equipped with amenities that make the journey more enjoyable for everyone. Charter buses feature reclining seats, climate control, restrooms, and plenty of overhead storage for backpacks and coolers. Onboard entertainment options include flat-screen TVs with DVD players, WiFi, and power outlets—perfect for watching movies, playing games, or staying connected with parents.
For shorter trips around town, a minibus or sprinter van offers a cost-effective solution without sacrificing comfort. These smaller vehicles are ideal for shuttling groups between campgrounds, swimming pools, and local attractions. If you have specific requests, such as ADA accessibility or extra luggage space, just let us know when you book.

Custom Schedules for Every Camp
No two summer camps are exactly alike, which is why we offer fully customizable transportation plans. Whether you need a single bus for a weeklong session or a daily shuttle running back and forth between sites, we’ll design a schedule that fits your program. Popular options include morning and afternoon pickups, evening runs for special events, and weekend excursions to nearby points of interest.
Some camps use our services to reduce traffic congestion at their main entrance by parking all private vehicles at an off-site lot and busing attendees the rest of the way. Others rely on us to bridge the gap between a remote campsite and the nearest town center. Whatever logistical challenges you face, we have the experience and resources to solve them.

Affordable Rates and Transparent Pricing
Budget is always a concern for nonprofit organizations and youth programs, which is why we strive to offer competitive rates and transparent pricing. When you request a quote from Santa Maria Coach Bus Service, you’ll receive an all-inclusive estimate based on factors such as distance traveled, duration of service, and type of vehicle selected. There are no hidden fees or surprise charges—what you see is what you pay.
Sharing a single bus among multiple cabins or age groups can significantly reduce per-person costs compared to reimbursing mileage for individual drivers. Plus, consolidating transportation under one provider simplifies accounting and reduces administrative workload. If you’re applying for grants or sponsorships, we’re happy to provide documentation supporting your request.
