Camp Communication

We believe very strongly that smooth communication between camp and home is in the best interest of children, staff, and parents. To facilitate this we offer the following:

E-mail: At camp we use email as our main means of camp/parent communication. Please make sure that you have at least one email address on your paperwork.

Notes Home: Weekly notes with summaries of recent activities and plans for the coming weeks will be sent home from each bunk. Notes are sent home with toddlers, 3's and 4's. Check your child's backpack for all notes.

Parent's Visits: Parents are welcome in camp. We also plan activities that will give you the opportunity to enjoy special times with your child. We give advance notice to enable you to join us.

Talk to the counselor: To speak to your child's counselor, call during camp hours and leave a message for her. Your call will be returned within 24 hours. Arrival and dismissal times are not appropriate times for meaningful conversation with teachers since they need to be involved with the children. However, you may give the teacher a note asking her to call you later.

Talk to the Director: Call with any concerns you may have. Either a phone conference or a visit will promptly be arranged.

Keep us informed, as well: If both parents are out of town, the camp must be informed. As with all changes in arrangements , this should be in writing. It is also extremely helpful if you let us know when things are unusual at home. A stress can come from even positive situations, and teachers who are aware of the home situation are better able to help the children.

Suggestions: Put your ideas in writing and share them with us.
