Staying in touch
Letters, packages, and emails are permitted during camp if you follow the following guidlines:
DO
- send cheerful letters, postcards, or emails to let your child know your thinking about them

- write as many letters as you’d like!
DO NOT
- send food, snacks, or beverages
- relay sad or dsturbing news via letter or email – please call the office and speack to the Camp Director with such news.
- be surprised if your child sends short letters in response – it does not mean your child does not have a lot to say, it just means that he/she is too busy to say it!
