- International Falls
- Contact Info: ecc@ifallscovenant.org

- Red River Valley (Starts at Larson Farms in rural Stephen) with stops at:
- Grand Forks (Home of Economy Parking Lot)

**If you selected the bus but later decide not to have your camper ride the bus, please send an email to the bus contact person to let them know. This helps them on the day of the ride!
