There are many wonderful benefits of living & camping on a remote mountain ranch, surrounded by forests, streams, blue skies & bright sunshine…
But cell phone coverage and lightning-fast internet are not among them! We do have satellite Internet & landline phone access. The US Postal Service and UPS deliver regularly, although overnight shipping is not available. For communication with campers while they’re at summer camp, we recommend the following to parents:
Mail & Email
We encourage all of our parents to keep in touch with their campers during the summer. Campers love to receive hand-written letters from home. The daily distribution of mail is a highly anticipated event. Counselors distribute mail every day except Sunday during Rest Hour on the platform.
We also recognize that email can be a convenient and expeditious means for some families to communicate with their campers. We have arranged through Bunk1.com to help us manage incoming “Bunk Notes” (emails). Learn more here about how you can sign up with Bunk1 to send email to your camper while they are at camp.
Telephone
Our business phone line is in constant use during the sessions as we manage the many facets of running a ranch & summer camp. Although we recognize that there will be exceptions, we need to keep our lines available for business use. To that end, we request that you please call your camper only in cases of emergency.
Web Photo Updates
We have found sharing pictures to be a great way for parents and families to participate and share in their camper’s experience of Camp Trinity. At the beginning of each session, we will provide a link to enrolled families where you can view photos of the fun we are having at Camp. We do our best to update photos a few times each session, but you should not expect daily photo updates. As you likely already know, we believe that it is important for kids to have a genuine outdoor experience at camp that is free from the distraction of technology. Our approach to photo sharing reflects this core value.
We also share photos and updates via our social media accounts on Instagram and Facebook. Follow along with us!
Communication with Camp Directors
Parents are encouraged to communicate with the Camp Directors about any concerns they may have relating to their child’s Camp experience. Parents will receive a card of introduction from their camper’s counselor at the beginning of the session. In addition, at the end of each camper’s time at Camp, our counselors will write parents a letter about their child’s experience at Camp Trinity.
