Colorado Forms

The State of Colorado requires a couple of medical items to be completed before your camper can attend.

Quest Colorado, Sigma Junior, and Sigma Senior

CO Physician Form
- Must be completed and signed by your camper's doctor. Please be sure to schedule an appointment.
- This form has questions specific to Colorado; therefore, a physical received from the school cannot be accepted.
Current Immunization Record
- You can use our form or upload your own - no doctor's signature is required.
- Please ensure the immunization record is up to date.
- If your camper is missing immunizations, please click here to access the Colorado Certificate of Exemption form. This form should be uploaded along with the current shot records.

Use this step-by-step tutorial to scan and upload the forms to your camper's registration. Please do not submit a photo with your phone.

Ranch Bank

Campers use their Ranch Bank to purchase snacks, souvenirs, apparel, and more while at camp. Each camper receives a wristband linked to their Ranch Bank.

The recommended amount is $125, but you know your camper best! Parents can view purchases and add funds at any time during the week through their Sky Ranch Online Account.

At the end of the session, any unused funds can be donated to the Sky Ranch Scholarship Program. If not donated, remaining balances over $5 will be refunded within two weeks after your camper’s session.

For Colorado Leadership, Ranch Bank funds are not accessible while traveling. Sky Ranch provides meals during travel, but many campers like to have a little spending money for gas station stops.

Cabinmate Requests

Due to the close proximity of the cabins, the unified experience we are creating, and the maturity and growth we are seeking in our Leadership campers, the cabinmate request feature is unavailable for our Colorado Leadership camps.

Unlike cabin assignments in Van, participants in our Colorado Leadership programs are not separated by cabin schedules; they share the same programming and will be together for the duration of their session.

Bunk1

Bunk1 is the app used to view camper photos and send Bunk Notes.

Log in to your Sky Ranch Online Account and upload a close-up photo of your camper
While logged in, purchase your Bunk1 bundle
After purchasing, download the Bunk1 app for Apple or Google
At least two weeks before camp, confirm you can log in using your Sky Ranch username and password. No code is required.

Bunk Notes

Bunk Notes are a one-way message you can send to your camper. Share updates from home, their favorite team’s score, or a funny story. Make them Fun Notes by adding pictures, borders, or puzzles!

Bunk1 Updates

We’ll post travel updates during the bus ride and share daily updates once we arrive at camp, so you can follow the adventure.

Bunk1 Bundles

When choosing a bundle, keep in mind that credits are only used to send Bunk Notes, and adding borders and photos will require additional credits. If you plan to save photos of your camper, the Max Bundle is recommended. Please purchase the bundle through your Sky Ranch Online Account before logging in to Bunk1.

Camper Photos

Our goal is to give you a glimpse into the Colorado Leadership experience and a general idea of what your camper's program is doing each day. We would ask you to refrain from using your teen's photos as a thermostat for their well-being or happiness. While we try our best to capture the wonderful time campers are having, not everyone remembers to smile when they are trying something new or doing something really fun.

We are committed to campers truly living in the moment, which means we won't interrupt their experience to capture a picture. In a world of constant technology, we want camp to be a space where teens can be themselves without feeling the pressure to be camera-ready.

Due to the mobility and remote locations of our Colorado programs, we're unable to upload photos daily. Here's what you can expect from us:

Several great pictures from your teen's time in Colorado
Photos are uploaded to the Bunk1 app every other day
Notification if the weather prevents us from taking as many photos as we'd like

Helpful Tips

Label all of your camper's belongings.
One large duffel or suitcase (max 50 lbs) and one carry-on backpack. No trunks, please.
Arrive with a full refillable water bottle, and please drink plenty of water the week before camp to avoid altitude sickness.
Swimsuits should be one-piece and provide adequate coverage. Many female campers wear shorts over their swimsuits for modesty during water events.
No need to buy new clothes for camp.
Use ziplock bags to keep things organized and waterproof.
Don't bring anything irreplaceable.
Sky Ranch primarily uses the ESV translation of the Bible, but campers may bring whichever translation they prefer.
Sigma Seniors: Bring your "My Story" wood round from Sigma Jr. We’ll provide a new one if needed.
Daytime temps average 75°F; nights can drop to 30°F.
No laundry service is available, so pack accordingly.

Camper Mail & Care Packages

📦 Build-Your-Own Care Package

Mail from family and friends is one of the highlights of camp! Here's everything you need to know:

Due to limited space on the bus, please only send one package (shoebox-size or smaller).
Letters & flat envelopes are delivered daily - no limit!
Drop off the package and letters at check-in.
Please do not mail items via UPS, FedEx, or USPS - the mail can't reach campers in time.
Pack your camper's favorite things inside - snacks, small gifts or games, notes, etc. Please do not send gum or snacks with common airborne allergies, such as peanuts, etc.
