Need a Ride? No Problem!

Tall Pines provides transportation to most areas of southern New Jersey, the Jersey Shore, and Center City Philadelphia. Most of our campers ride in newer, air-conditioned buses. All campers are picked up at central locations.

Download the list of last summer’s central locations below. The buses are driven by certified and experienced drivers. All drivers are Tall Pines employees, and the director hand-selects each driver and bus counselor. Each year we perform a criminal background check and driver abstract on all drivers. If you do not see your area listed, please contact our office.
