Before Your First Visit to Rainbow Conservation Camp: VSA Account Setup Checklist

Before you open the Visitation Scheduling Application (VSA), make sure you're actually cleared to visit. Review the facility's visiting guidelines first, then confirm you're on the approved visitor list for Rainbow Conservation Camp. Skip this step and you'll hit dead ends when you try to schedule.

First time using VSA? You'll need to claim your account before you can schedule anything. Don't jump ahead to the scheduling screen - it won't work until your account is claimed.

You don’t need any special setup or equipment to use VSA. You can access it from a web-enabled computer, smartphone, or tablet - whatever is easiest for you.

Claimed your account but still can't schedule? Check the Facility Visiting Status Updates for Rainbow Conservation Camp before assuming something's wrong with your login. The scheduling method can change - sometimes visits need to be scheduled through email instead of VSA.

Need help: If you hit a problem you can’t fix, reach out to visiting staff - Visiting Sergeants or Lieutenants can help resolve issues and provide VSA technical assistance.

Treat the Facility Visiting Status Updates as your source of truth for how scheduling works right now - especially when email scheduling is in effect. If what you're seeing in VSA doesn't match up (or you're getting errors), contact visiting staff. They can walk you through what Rainbow Conservation Camp needs and help troubleshoot VSA issues.
