    As you prepare for Sky Ranch Day Camp, below is a list of items you will need to pack each day. When you pick up your child, you will receive information about activities for the following day. Please read the information and be sure to note additional items of clothing for water days. 

    Daily

    Please make sure to label all of your campers belongings!

    • Water bottle
    • Extra clothes (just in case)
    • Tennis shoes
    • Suncreen (please apply in the morning, we will reapply)
    • Lunch and drink
    • Hand sanitizer
    • Emergency Medications: Albuterol inhalers and Epinephrine injectors are the ONLY medications which can be accepted by Day Camp staff. Staff members are trained in 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

    Monday and Friday will not be a Water Day. Theme information for the following day will be provided at camper pick up. We will also notify you through the Bunk1 App - be sure you've turned on notifications!

    • Swimsuit (under your child's clothes, please)

      • 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.

    More Information

    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.
