Meals & Snacks

What to expect at meal time

During the summer, mealtime is more than just eating - it's an experience! Meals are full of energy with music, fun, and connection. Campers get to practice independence by choosing their own toppings or building their own salads, all with the support of a counselor nearby to help whenever needed.

Snacks

There are endless opportunities for campers to purchase snacks at Café Sky or Cracker Barrel using their Ranch Bank. They can also grab fresh fruit from the Dining Hall to take with them on the go.

Surprise your camper with a Snack Pack during the week by purchasing through your Sky Ranch Online Account!

 

Special Dietary Requirements

We are happy to accommodate your camper's needs! When completing the Medical History form for your camper's registration, please complete the section on food allergies and dietary requirements. If you have specific questions or concerns, please contact our food service department directly by emailing FoodService@SkyRanch.org.

  • Swimming 100 feet continuously without stopping or needing assistance

Campers who do not pass are required to wear a life jacket at all water activities, but can still fully participate. Depending on the schedule, re-tests may be available later in the week.

Traditions

Camp Raids

During the week, your camper may participate in a fun camp tradition that includes throwing water balloons or squirting shaving cream at another cabin. 

The Birthday Song

If your camper's birthday happens to be during camp, don't worry! We have a special song we sing for them, and they get to pie one of their counselors in the face! It's a birthday they will never forget!

Zion's Cup

Morph and Quest campers participate in this Sky Ranch tradition. Each camper is placed in one of three houses, Aleph, Gimel, or Shin, where they will compete as a team to win the ultimate prize: Zion's Cup!

The Life Map

 

Each program is guided by an intentional plan where we seek to grow a camper from who they are at 6 to who they can be at 18. This plan is called the Life Map.

Our yearly curriculum answers one of four worldview questions: Who is God? What is our need? What is truth? Who are you?
