Arrival Day

Arrival Day is one of our favorite days as we feel the surge of energy as our campers arrive. We ask that campers who are being dropped off at the Ranch arrive between 10 am - 12 pm. This process has been intentionally streamlined to help new and younger campers transition into their cabin groups as quickly as possible.

Check-in Process

• Welcome by TVRC Barnstaff on horseback
• Welcome tent to receive nametag and cabin asignment (Camper Elecronics Drop-off)
• Medical Tent with the nurses
• Luggage drop off
• Goodbye to your campers

We find that when parents linger, it has a negative effect on homesick campers. Parents can be a huge distraction around camp, even for campers from other families. Your camper will be immersed into camp life as soon as they leave your side. They will have many activities available with other campers in the Dining Hall, on the Green, and in their cabin. They will move into their cabins and choose bunks alongside their cabinmates with help from their counselors and our support team. Parents should not leave the check-in area to visit camper cabins or program areas. If you are a new camper parent and are hoping for a personalized tour with your camper, please make arrangements with the office ahead of time to see if we have availability prior to Arrival Day.
