Shipping Luggage

Shipping To Camp

Most campers bring a duffel and/or a trunk to the Ranch with them. Many parents also find it helpful to ship a box of bedding and other items. Some campers ship their items to the Ranch while others bring their luggage with them on the airplane. *Ship Camps and other providers deliver to the Ranch address. If you decide to ship luggage, please ensure that a TVRC luggage tag (we will send these to you) is on each piece of luggage. In CampMinder, you’ll find a baggage form, where you can indicate what luggage you’ve shipped. Once we receive your luggage at the Ranch, you will receive a confirmation phone call or email. When your camper arrives at camp, their luggage will be waiting for them in the correct cabin. Please allow 10 days for your camper’s luggage to arrive at the Ranch.

*Ship Camps is a service that we recommend and encourage you to consider. They specialize in shipping camp gear and have been able to simplify the shipping process for our families. You will also find that they already have our bag arrival and departure dates. If you are interested in this service, you can find out more below.

Shipping From Camp

You will receive a phone call or email toward the end of camp confirming the method of sending your camper’s luggage home. You will have already specified this information on the baggage form (found in your CampMinder account), but we find it helps to double check with parents before the end of the season so that baggage is organized correctly on Pack Day. Your child can either take luggage with them on the airplane or have their luggage shipped home via Ship Camps. Please allow 10-14 days for the delivery of your camper’s luggage.

Please note that it is extremely common for trunks to be damaged or destroyed during shipment. While they can be insured through the shipper, TVRC accepts no responsibility for damaged or destroyed luggage. Because of the large volume of luggage that is shipped from the Ranch at the end of each season, it is impossible to meet specific needs (e.g. placing each trunk in a box). If you are concerned about the condition of your trunk, it is best to check it on the airplane with your camper, or ship it home yourself from the FedEx or UPS stores in Jackson, WY.
