Tips from Tori ~ "Contacting Your Camper at Camp Using Mail, Email and staying Current using Twitter!"

Moms, your sons or daughters would love to receive a letter or an email delivered to them throughout the week!  I promise this is a highlight that they look forward to! 

You can also get the latest camp news by following SkyRanchSummer on Twitter!

Contacting Your Camper at Camp Using Mail, Email and staying Current using Twitter!

Contacting Your Camper


If an emergency arises you can call our office 24 hours a day and one of our staff will assist you. If your camper needs to contact you we will facilitate that as well. The after-hours emergency number is 903-266-3399.

“I know my child is doing great, it’s me that is lonely!” We understand...here’s a tip - send an e-mail or letter to your camper. The address for all regular mail correspondence is

Camper’s Name and Session Number
Camper’s Cabin Number
24657 CR 448
Van, TX 75790

Sending Emails to Your Camper
We enlist a third-party provider to process our e-mails (hundreds per day) and kids love it! Your color e-mail will be delivered directly to your camper with the daily mail call. This service is optional and will incur an additional fee from the provider. More information will be provided at Check-In or you may visit HUwww.SkyRanch.org/emailsUH for complete details.

Keeping Current with Twitter
Get the latest camp news by following SkyRanchSummer on Twitter. We’ll be “tweeting” throughout the day. If you think it would be fun to hear little bits of detail from daily camp life as a way to “follow” your child’s week, then this is for you.  We will not use camper names or personal information in our “tweets,” rather we will be trying to capture something from every cabin each day. However, for privacy purposes, we will not use individual camper names.

If your campers want to keep up with camp life after their week of camp, they may want to follow other sessions from your twitter site! However, the only non-camper information coming through twitter will be concerning Saturday pick up instructions, pre-registration instructions, or emergency information concerning camp.
