Parent Communication
At Sunny Trailblazers Ranch Camp, parent communication is a top priority. Our Operations Manager, Jennifer Polizzi, is available throughout the camp session to address any questions or concerns regarding camp activities and emergency protocols. Each day, our lead counselor and teacher, Brooke Briggs, sends a message updating parents on the girls’ adventures and how much fun they’re having, ensuring that families stay informed about their daughters' experiences.
Campers will have limited cell phone access to promote a fully immersive outdoor experience, with designated times in the morning and evening for phone calls to connect with family. Additionally, parents receive updates while we are traveling to and from the ranch, providing reassurance that their daughters are safe and enjoying every step of the journey. Our commitment to maintaining a favorable staff-to-girl ratio enhances this experience, ensuring peace of mind for parents while allowing campers to fully enjoy their camp experience with complete liability coverage.
Staff Qualifications
All counselors are full insured, live-scan and background checked and have decades of working with children. Our counselors are all mothers as well.
Insurance & Liability Coverage
Sunny Trailblazers Ranch Camp is fully insured with liability coverage that protects all camp activities, including horseback riding, farm interactions, hiking, and excursions. Additionally, Zion Mountain Ranch is also fully insured. This comprehensive liability coverage ensures that every aspect of the camp experience is safeguarded, providing protection for campers, staff, and the property. To further enhance safety, our camp has established emergency protocols and maintains effective parent communication, ensuring that families are informed. Moreover, we pride ourselves on an excellent staff-to-girl ratio, allowing for personalized attention and care.
