Bus Stops in Sterlington & N. Monroe

The Kidcam Express bus picks up campers at central points in Sterlington & Monroe daily. The times listed in the AM are when the bus departs from the stop. Times listed in the PM are when the bus arrives at the stop. Parents must physically get out of their car and sign their child out before their camper is allowed off the bus. Camp staff will be checking your ID.

Campers can board the bus up to 15 minutes prior to the departure time in the morning. The bus will remain at each Express Stop for 10 minutes in the afternoon. After that, parents should proceed to the final stop in Sterlington. Any child not picked up within the 10 minute window, will be charged $1 a minute.

Kidcam Sterlington Express Stop	Sterlington Elementary School, 9040 US-165, Sterlington, LA 71280	7:30-7:45 a.m. and 4:30-4:45 p.m.

Please send an email or note: if your camper is leaving early, if you are picking up your child at camp, or if someone else is picking up your child at camp or at their bus stop. Please give all notes to the bus counselor or bus driver — this is to protect your child.

In the AM, please plan to be at your child’s stop at least five minutes earlier than the posted time. If you are late in the morning or afternoon, and miss your bus, go to the next stop listed on the route. In the afternoon, the bus driver will wait at the last stop with your camper until you arrive. The bus driver will allow a 10-minute courtesy time after driving to the last stop in the afternoon. After the 10 minutes, there will be a $1.00 charge per minute. The driver will give you a copy of the bill for their time and the other copy will go to the office. Make checks payable to Kidcam Camps and pay within 24 hours.

*Note that routes, times, and order of stops may be modified throughout the summer to accommodate appropriate bus capacities. We will always contact the family to inform of any changes.

Camp Director

Richard Robertson “Coach Rob” is entering his second year as the camp director at Kidcam Kiroli Park, and he is ready to make this the “coolest camp” in N. Louisiana. He is currently a teacher at Lee Junior High School in Monroe where he coaches football and track. He also works closely with the basketball and baseball coaches to generate much needed funds for their programs.

Before moving to Lee, Robertson was a teacher at Rayville High School for seven years. While there, he taught several subjects, and served as the head baseball coach for three seasons. He was also a coach with the football team, and took care of player injuries for 4 seasons. He is “The On-Air Voice of the Rayville Hornets” as he has broadcast football and basketball games for the Hornets over the last two seasons on the radio and online.

Coach Rob is also active in the Monroe/West Monroe community. He has served on several committees with nonprofit organizations, and continues to play disc golf and host disc golf tournaments in the Twin Cities.

Robertson earned his bachelor’s degree from University of Louisiana at Monroe in Speech Communication in 1999 and completed his Master of Arts degree in Teaching from Louisiana Tech in 2013. He is certified in CPR for all ages.

Rickey and his wife Missy live in Monroe with daughter, Sadie, and they have three grandsons: Phillip, Korbin, and Konner.

Camper to Counselor Ratio	10:1 With camper safety as the cornerstone of our program, the camp staff consists of certified teachers, outstanding college students and responsible and energetic teenagers. Once hired, the Kidcam staff goes through a rigorous training program in preparation for the first day of camp.
