Communication
We welcome the opportunity to talk with our parents before and during your child’s stay at camp. We feel that being partners with our parents is the best way to make camp the most positive experience possible for your child... and for you!

TELEPHONE CALLS
To ensure the happiness of Campers, Camp has a No Phone Policy, with the following exception: If they or a parent has a birthday that falls during the session. Parent may arrange with the front office for a time to speak with Camper. No calls will be permitted during group activities or after lights out. All phone calls will be kept to a strict time limit of 10 minutes.
The Director and other members of the administration are always available by phone and by email.
LETTER WRITING
Campers are required to write home twice each week. Since we are in a small town, a letter may take several days to arrive. Just as parents are anxious to receive letters from their children, mail time is one of the highlights of the campers’ day. We encourage you to write as often as possible. We also encourage you to send a letter to your child before he or she leaves so that your child has mail waiting once he or she arrives at camp.
Parents also have the option of writing one-way emails. You can access one-way email writing by logging in to your CampInTouch account and choosing the “Email” icon. In order to send emails, you must purchase CampStamps. One CampStamp equals one e-mail. Several CampStamp packages are
available for purchase with a credit card.
