Dropping Your Child Off at Camp

 Campers should arrive Sunday at the following time based on their last name: 

                          A-H :  4:00 
                          I – P:   4:20

As you pull in the gate, you will receive your cabin assignment. Cabin assignments will not be given out over the phone or by email. 

Our amazing counselors and staff will be waiting to help your camper unload his/her luggage and take everything to the assigned bunkroom. Please try to arrive at your designated time. There is no advantage to getting here early. Once everyone has arrived we will help everyone choose a bunk and get their things settled in for the week.

Parents who need to, can stop by to drop off medications and speak to the Camp Nurse while the counselor is helping your camper settle in.

What to Bring to Camp
A full list of items to bring to camp can be found here.
Can I Request a Bunk Mate?

If you would like to request to stay in the same bunkroom as another camper, you will have an opportunity to make this request on your registration form. We use a “matching” software (much like college roommate requests). Each camper is limited to one “match”.

All requests must be submitted in the Camper Portal. Please do not call or email to request bunk room assignment information.

Where does my camper place his or her belongings?
Each camper is given a cubby (18 inches wide, 41 inches tall, and 15 inches deep) in front of their bunk to store their belongings. They also have space underneath their bunkbeds to place their luggage/bags/etc.
Who Will Be Watching My Child?
Each summer, we have over 70 staff members that are trained, Christian role models. Each of our staff members is actively growing in their walk with Christ and they share a strong passion for children and youth ministry.

Your child will be in a cabin with at most 7 other campers, with AT LEAST one adult accompanying them at all times.

How do I register?

Click this link to register. Our Camper Portal has been designed to be easy, user friendly, and very accessible. Please note: Your spot is not secure until your registration is complete. A “pending” registration does not save a spot and could result in your camper being placed on the waiting list.

During Your Camper's Session
Feel free to send your camper mail during the week to:

P.O. Box 599 Bolivar, TN 38008

You can also get in touch with your camper through your Bunk1 portal. Through Bunk1, you will be able to message your camper, as well as view pictures of what they have been up to thorughout the week.

What If My Child Becomes Homesick?
Kids often get homesick when they’re in a new environment. Our staff is trained to assist campers who may be experiencing homesickness.

If we notice that your child is feeling homesick, we will call the parents to let them know, and encourage them to pray for their children as well as write letters.

What Will My Child Eat?

Our food is awesome! Each meal is an all-you-can-eat experience that your camper will love.

If your child has any dietary restrictions, please let us know and we will try to accommodate to the best of our ability.

What Does a Day at Camp Look Like?
Each day, your camper will enjoy outdoor activities including rock walls, zip lines, giant swing, mountain bike trails, lake time, pool party, kayaks, and much more.

Outdoor Activities are followed by worship and teaching every night after dinner. After worship, the campers transition to a night activity such as Disco Game Night, Counselor Belly Flop Competition, Luau’s, etc. before heading to bed.

Can I Visit My Child at Camp?
Campers are not permitted to have visitors or to leave camp during a session. For the well-being of the camper and the camp, we ask for your full cooperation with this policy. Campers are not allowed to make or receive phone calls.

Our emergency phone number is (731) 659-2880.

What NOT to Bring to Camp
Victory Ranch cannot be responsible for valuables brought to camp. Campers should not bring food, candy, iPods, cell phones, video games, expensive cameras, money, or jewelry. These items often distract from the camp environment and may be held by the camp director and returned to the camper upon departure.
Can My Camper Attend Multiple Weeks?
Of course! We have many campers who choose to “stay over,” which means staying for more than one week. We will take care of the campers during the time in between camp sessions. We will do your camper’s laundry in between sessions as well, so do not worry about that! They will have fun doing activities, eating great food, and hanging out with our awesome college counselors.

We do allow our campers to stay over; however, we do not allow our campers to stay over between Sessions 1 and 2, between Sessions 4 and 5, and between Sessions 5 and 6.

Camper Conduct
We expect campers to show consideration for one another and the environment we share. These principles are encouraged in simple ways, such as asking campers to help clean up after activities and to respect camp and personal property. The camp directors reserve the right to dismiss any camper when it is deemed to be in the best interest of either the child or camp, or for violation of camp rules. NO REFUND will be given.
