How to Know When
"Everyone Made It to Camp!”
We understand how nerve-wracking it may be between seeing your children off and waiting to hear that everyone has arrived safely.
Although campers are welcome to call home from the Denver airport, our airport team’s primary focus is getting the campers from their arrival gates to baggage claim, collecting bags, loading them onto trucks, and ensuring all campers are on the shuttle buses for the ride to camp.
So they can focus on the children in their care, our staff don’t call families from the airport. They are in constant communication with our office, notifying us of any issues and keeping us updated on the location of shuttles. Our team will contact families if there are problems. Families should assume no news is good news.
Once all campers have reached the chava (ranch), we will send an email to families letting them know that everyone has arrived safely.

Campers should leave larger electronic devices (iPads, tablets, laptops) at home, even when traveling by plane. These items are more prone to damage and harder for us to store securely.
If your camper needs a device for travel and doesn’t have a cell phone, we recommend borrowing an old smartphone instead. Thanks for helping us keep camp simple, safe, and screen-free!
