We use a 12, 14, and 15 passenger vans for transportation. All drivers have clean driving records on file and complete canyon driving training. One of our main drivers, Jake, is also a school bus driver during the school year. This is our second season running transportation for Superior Summer Camp. Our sister company, the Alta Summer Camp, where ms. Ilse is also the Executive Director, has been transporting school-age children in the canyon for 6 years. For booster seats, we provide backless boosters for children who are required by Utah law to use them, including children under 8 years old who are under 4'9'' (57 inches) tall. Families are welcome to provide their own booster seat if preferred.
