Drop-Off & Pick-Up

Opening Day

Though our Quest Colorado, Sigma Junior, and Sigma Senior campers are ultimately destined for Colorado, all will start at our Van, TX location. Many camper families show their Sky Ranch spirit by decorating their car for the trip to camp. Window paint and streamers are some of our favorites!

Camper Pick-Up

The Camper Code

• After Sunday check-in, the Administrator (the person who receives your pre-camp emails) will receive an email with a Camper Code specific to each of your campers. 
• Screenshot the Camper Code and save it to your camera roll.
• Show us the image at check-out to pick up your camper.
  • If someone else is picking up your camper, send them the image as verbal codes will not be accepted. 
  • If there is an emergency and you are not able to send the Camper Code to a designated person, we will release a camper to an Emergency Contact. (Listed on the medical form on your camper's registration.)

Lost & Found

Please label all of your camper's belongings. We will do our best to return any labeled items to your camper before departure. Unlabeled items will be placed at the Lost & Found table on Saturday.

After camp ends, we will hold onto lost items for two weeks. If your camper is missing something, please email us at GuestServices@SkyRanch.org with a detailed description. After two weeks, all unclaimed items will be donated.

Sky Ranch is not responsible for lost or damaged items, so please do not send new clothes or valuable items to camp.

Camper Medications

Commonly Used Medications 

Each location stocks commonly used medications, such as Tylenol, for as-needed use.

Bringing Medications

If your child takes medication on a regular basis, the medication will be stored in our health center and dispensed by a licensed health professional. All medications (both prescription and over-the-counter) must be checked in when you drop off your camper.

**No camper should have any medication with them in their personal belongings.**

To help expedite your check-in process on Sunday, please follow the instructions below:

• Original packaging is required for all medications
  • Both prescription and over-the-counter medications are required to be in the original packaging and contain only the medication identified on the container.
  • Do not put medications in pill containers.
• Legible prescription label
  • If your child requires a prescription medication, the prescription label must be legible with the camper’s name on it.
  • Do not use old bottles or those belonging to another family member as they will not be administered per state law.
  • Prescription label instructions will be followed. If your child’s doctor has recently changed the timing or frequency of the medication, make sure the prescription label is up to date.
• Non-FDA-approved medications need an order by a licensed provider
  • Non-FDA-approved medications include most vitamins, oils, and dietary supplements and will only be accepted and administered to your camper if accompanied by an order that is signed by a licensed provider (MD, DO, NP, or PA).
  • This order must instruct us on when and how much to give. This is to ensure the safety of your camper and to comply with the Nurse Practice Act.
• Check the expiration date: Expired medication will not be administered per state law.
• Rescue Inhalers and EpiPens
  • The ONLY medications that are permitted to be kept with the counselors are RESCUE inhalers (along with spacer) and EpiPens. These are the only medications that our counselors are trained to administer. Campers are not allowed to keep rescue medications themselves for safety reasons.
  • A counselor who has your child’s rescue medication will be with your child at all times. The counselors are allowed to keep glucometers.
  • If you have any questions, please contact our Healthcare Director prior to camp.
• Picking up medication:
  • All medications can be picked up by parents on the last day of camp.
  • Medications that are not picked up will be disposed of so please be sure to stop by our medication return table.
  • If your child has a rescue medication kept by the counselor (EpiPen or rescue inhaler), it is your responsibility to obtain these from your child’s counselor when you pick up your child from camp.

To serve your family with excellence, we follow the regulations for Colorado and Texas Youth Camps and subscribe to the American Camp Association standards.
