Daily
Please make sure to label all of your camper's belongings!
- Water bottle
- Extra clothes (just in case)
- Tennis shoes
- Sunscreen (please apply in the morning, we will reapply)
- Lunch and drink
- Hand sanitizer
- Emergency Medications: Albuterol inhalers and Epinephrine injectors are the ONLY medications that can be accepted by Day Camp staff. Staff members are trained in the administration of albuterol inhalers and epinephrine auto-injectors only. All other medications must be administered by a parent prior to arrival or after pickup. Please email the Sky Ranch Health Center Administrator at JenW@SkyRanch.org with any questions.
Water Days
Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday will be Water Days. We will also remind you through the Bunk1 App - be sure you've turned on notifications!

- Boys: Appropriate length shorts, no Speedos.
- Gallon-sized bag for wet swimsuit

Clothing
A few notes about clothing for Day Camp:
- Wear comfy play clothes - shorts and a T-shirt kind of thing!
- Tennis shoes are a MUST!
- On water days, we require water shoes of some sort. Please send a second pair of shoes to act as "water shoes" so no one spends the dry parts of the day in wet shoes. Any kind of "Teva" style or "Aqua Sock" will work, or an old pair of tennis shoes is great.
Check-In
Monday through Friday at 9:00 am
Please note, we cannot accept campers prior to 9:00 am. If your child will be late or absent, please email the Sky Ranch Day Camp team at DayCamp@SkyRanch.org. Monday is the only day parents should park and come inside to check your camper in. The rest of the week will be a drive through drop-off.
Check-Out
Sunday
NEW THIS SUMMER - The Camper Code
- Sunday night, the Administrator (the person who receives your pre-camp emails) will receive an email with a Camper Code specific to each of your campers! Make sure this is the best way to contact you!
- Screenshot the Camper Code and save it to your camera roll!!
- Show us the image each day to pick up your camper.
- If someone else is picking up your camper, send them the image! We WILL NOT release your camper to anyone who does not have this image!
- If there is an emergency and you are not able to send the Camper Code to a designated person, Authorized Pickups can be added through your Online Account and will require a Photo ID.
Monday through Thursday - 4:00 pm
If your child will be picked up early, please notify us when you drop your child off. Bring a screenshot of the Camper Code for each camper!
Friday - 3:00 with a Closing Show!
On Friday we have a special Closing Show to wrap up an incredible week! Please arrive a little before 3:00 for check-out, and we will begin the show promptly at 3:00!
Camper Check-Out Policy
Campers will not be released to an individual for any reason without one of the following:
- Showing your camper's Camper Code
- A license that matches the Authorized List
Important Info: You may send a screenshot of your camper's Check-Out Code to anyone you wish, and we will consider them authorized to pick up your camper. The parent who receives the pre-camp emails will be the parent who receives the code on Sunday, so please communicate with the appropriate people.

Lost & Found
Our goal is to not have any! Help us by labeling everything your child brings and by making sure that you have all of their belongings before you leave each day. Sky Ranch cannot be responsible for lost or broken items.
Lunch
We will have a 30-minute lunch period each day. Please send your child with a sack lunch and drink. Sky Ranch will provide a daily snack in the afternoon before check-out.
Photos - See camp in action!
You can expect to see a handful of fun pictures of your camper participating in activities and posing with their cabin throughout the week. The goal is to capture a couple of photos of each camper every day.
Pictures are uploaded daily to the Bunk1 App for you to view, purchase, and share.
To view photos and receive important Day Camp updates, download the Bunk1 App and log in using your Sky Ranch account credentials. There is no invitation code required to login.
