It's time to consider the best summer camp options for your children. While parents must weigh several factors before making that big decision, transportation to and from camp might be a significant consideration.

With that in mind, we've rounded up a half-dozen camps that offer the convenience of transportation to and from areas of Long Island. These camps, five of which are in Nassau County, provide the advantage of transportation to their facilities. 

You'll find these camps and more in our Long Island camp guide and directory, where you'll also find details on the best STEM-based camps for LI kids, our favorite Nassau County day camps, and more.

Just when you think the end of the school year means maybe life will slow down a bit, summer camp starts and it's even more schlepping and lunches to pack. That's why camps that will pick up your kids at home, or at least in your neighborhood, are our summertime salvation. We've rounded up top New York City camps that offer the convenience of transportation. If you're looking for a country camp, check out our articles on summer camps in Long Island, New Jersey, or Westchester that offer bussing, as most of them pick up from areas of NYC too.  

To find even more camps, check out our NYC Summer Camp Guide and or use our Directory to filter by type of camp or locations.
