Camping Magazine, v75 n4 p37-40 Jul-Aug 2002

In April 2002, the National Transportation Safety Board reissued a cautionary warning about the high accident potential of 15-passenger vans; some states have prohibited their use for transporting children. Three camp directors discuss legal and cost considerations for camps, possible alternative transportation, additional staff training needs, and the impact on camp programs. (SV)
