Riding the Bus from Hoboken: Ep. 6 – with Moss
A Chat About Riding the Bus from Hoboken to Camp
Daily Rituals & Time to Relax
In this episode, Jason chats with head group counselor—and head bus counselor extraordinaire—Moss, for a behind-the-scenes look at one of camp’s most overlooked yet magical spaces: the bus. They unpack the rhythm of the morning route, the small rituals that set the tone for the day, and how a small yellow bus can somehow become one of the most peaceful places at camp.
Moss shares what it’s really like to guide a bus full of campers—managing the energy, building community, and turning a bus ride into something that feels steady and safe. They also dive into those unforgettable days when the bus heads beyond camp: to a hike, to a campout, to that first big adventure that fills the air with equal parts excitement and nerves.
