How to request a video visit at Trinity River Conservation Camp (email-only process)

Video visits at Trinity River Conservation Camp are scheduled by email only. The request window is tight: submit your email between 8 a.m. Saturday and 8 a.m. Monday to book a visit for the following weekend.

Your email needs specific details for the incarcerated person and every approved visitor joining the call. Missing information can delay scheduling.

• ✓ Incarcerated person’s full name
• ✓ Incarcerated person’s CDCR number

• ✓ Approved visitor’s full name (for every visitor who will participate)
• ✓ Approved visitor’s date of birth
• ✓ Approved visitor’s valid ID type and ID number
• ✓ Visitor’s relationship to the incarcerated person
• ✓ Visitor’s email address
• ✓ Visitor’s phone number

Keep it simple: list each visitor on their own line with all their details. For example:

Before you send anything, gather your information. You'll need the incarcerated person's full name and CDCR number, plus each visitor's full name, date of birth, valid ID type and number, relationship, email address, and phone number. Having everything ready makes writing a clean request much easier. Time your email carefully. The scheduling window opens at 8 a.m. Saturday and closes at 8 a.m. Monday - requests submitted during this window are for the following weekend.

1. Confirm the scheduling window - Requests are accepted from 8 a.m. Saturday through 8 a.m. Monday for the following weekend.
2. Collect the required details - Get the incarcerated person’s full name and CDCR number, plus each approved visitor’s information.
3. Write one clear email request - Include the incarcerated person’s information first, then list each visitor with their details.
4. Send the email during the window - Trinity River Conservation Camp uses an email-only process for video visit requests.

There's no published timeline for confirmations. If you don't hear back, follow up by email or call the camp directly. Don't assume your visit is confirmed until you get a response - fire crew activations can change availability without warning, so always check in before you travel.
