Mail and Email Guidelines and Tips

Emails are printed and given to campers once a day, at either lunch or dinner. Emails received after dinner (6:00) Thursday nights are not able to go to campers since they check out the next morning. We're printing the emails and as you know ink is expensive, so please limit emails to 1-4 per camper per day. Please do not include large pictures. Campers have no access to computers to respond to your emails.

Mail- Send as much mail as you would like. When sending packages please do not include large amounts of candy or sweets or anything not allowed at camp. Don't forget to send your camper with stationary, envelopes and stamps if they would like to send you mail. Remember that mail is slow and the kids get very busy, so try not to be too sad if you don't get your letter until later in the week or even after your camper is already home.

Its a camp tradition to sing for your mail. No need to practice up though. They sing with a group of their friends. Silly songs like nursery rhymes, Sunday school songs, etc. are always fun.

In all messages to campers we encourage you to be positive. Try not to emphasize too much how much you miss them or how much fun you're having without them (as both of these types of messages may make them miss home or increase their likelihood of becoming homesick) and we know you want them to have a great time while they're here.
