to make lots of improvements, clean up the
shoreline a bit and add a few muddy items to
the lost and found. We built a new water

Mail Call
Mail Call is one of the highlights of the day; campers enjoy receiving mail from
their family and friends. Our “NO BOX” policy has been a blessing to alleviate a
messy cabin environment and competition amongst campers to write home for
more packages. Camp is a gift in itself!
1. NO BOXES – Boxes of any size will be returned to the sender, this includes Amazon.
2. ENVELOPES ONLY! (Any size: paper, padded or Tyvek) with small items are accepted, please
limit to only ONE per week.
3. NO FOOD, CANDY, GUM, WATER GUNS, SILLY STRING or WATER
BALLOONS!!! Our staff will supervise all packages opened by your camper and
unacceptable items will be taken up and donated to local charities.
4. Please do not purchase gifts for the whole cabin.
5. SHIPPING A FOOTLOCKER TO CAMP: We will hold your camper’s footlocker and 1 box
with laundry bag and bedding until your camper arrives.
6. In case of a special situation or emergency item, please notify our office. (c/o Director)
7. Please ADVISE family AND friends OF THIS POLICY.
ADDRESSING MAIL
Writing letters is new to many campers. Please make sure your camper can properly address
an envelope/postcard. We recommend sending pre-addressed envelopes or labels for your
camper to use. Don’t forget to pack the stamps!
If sending letters ahead of time, make sure camper’s FIRST & LAST name are on the envelope.
We will get it to the right cabin!! *Cabin names are not announced until campers arrive at camp.
