A popular trucking company closed before sleepaway camps end this weekend.
Parents are now concerned about getting their children's luggage back from camp.
Camp Trucking Company would pick up and drop off campers' luggage before they arrive at camp. They would then drop it off at home before they returned at the end of the summer.
Parents who paid for the service from Camp Trucking Company are finding ways to get their money and children's luggage back.
Dara Cohen says they are able to pick everything up the same day their children get back from camp.
"We're going to drive to the bus stop a little bit before they get there - the trunk will be there," Cohen says. "We'll pick them up and borrow a second car, have a second car and get them back to our house. The good news is they'll be here earlier so laundry can get started right away."
Timber Lake Camp Director Jay Jacobs is asking parents to file a claim with their banks if they paid for the service with a credit card in advance.
