Colorado Overnight Camp Summer Prep
Staying Connected During Camp
Mail from friends and family is one of the highlights of camp! Here’s everything you need to know!
The DIY Method
- Delivery
- Due to limited space on the bus, please only send one package with your camper - no larger than a shoebox. Make sure your camper's name is legible on the top!
- Do not send mail through UPS, FedEx, or USPS. Mail often does not arrive in time due to the mobility of Quest Colorado, Sigma Junior, and Sigma Senior and the delay in mailing between states. Instead, the Bunk1 app is a great option to send your camper a note during their first week.
- We deliver letters in flat envelopes every day, so feel free to write a few kind words for your camper and let us know which day to deliver it!
- What goes inside a package?
- Snacks, a journal, small trinkets or games, or just a sweet note. Food must be sealed. Please do not send gum! For the safety of all campers and staff, do not include snacks with common airborne allergies such as peanuts, tree nuts, shellfish, etc.
- Please package all food in a resealable container.
- Drop-off
- On Sunday, drop off your letters and package when checking in your camper.
The Kick-back and Relax Method
We offer amazing pre-made care packages (SkyPacks and Snack Packs) that can be purchased through your online account (select Pre-Orders) and delivered directly to your camper while they are in Colorado!
Camper Photos & Bunk Notes
Photos - See camp in action!
- Because of the remote area of the camp and limited access to the internet, there are fewer photos, and they are not uploaded as frequently as our other camp locations.
- You can expect to see a handful of fun pictures of your camper participating in activities and posing with their cabin throughout their experience.
- Pictures are uploaded as internet allows to the Bunk1 App for you to view, purchase, and share.
Camper Photos - What to Expect
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 camper photos as the thermostat for the well-being or happiness of your teen. 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.
Our Photo Commitment
These expectations were set by our leadership team to help ensure your camper has an incredible experience - one filled with lasting memories and wonderful photos you'll treasure for years to come.
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 uploaded to the Bunk1 app every other day
- Notification if the weather prevents us from taking as many photos as we'd like
Bunk1
- Download the Bunk1 App and log in using your Sky Ranch username and password - no code needed. Make sure notifications are turned on so you can receive important updates about camp.
Bunk Notes
In the Bunk1 App, you will also have the opportunity to send your camper Bunk Notes during the week. Update them on what's happening at home, their favorite sports team, or a funny thing the dog did! We'll print it out and give it to them. Letters are printed at 10:00 am each day, so be sure to submit it through the app before then!
