You are welcome to call our camp office and check in on your child as frequently as you would like. Our directors live on-site and see your camper daily, and we can update you on how things are going. If we’re not sure about an answer to your question, we will find out from the bunk counselors or village administrators. We know it is hard to think about not speaking with your child for an extended period of time, but we have found that phone calls home tend to disrupt the camp experience and create homesickness and anxiety that wouldn’t exist otherwise. We ask you to trust us – as you are doing by sending your child to camp – that we will contact you if we believe a phone call home would help your camper. The increased independence this builds for your child, and the respite opportunity it gives you (that’s right, you can turn off your cell phone for a little while!) is really worth it. Although there is no Visitor’s Day during your camper’s session (we want you to be able to go off the grid and relax, after all!), the final day of camp serves as our camp-wide Visiting Day, which includes a family picnic and camper talent show, transition-home meeting and plenty of time for your camper to show you around and introduce you to counselors and friends! You and your camper may send unlimited amounts of mail to each other, and parents/guardians may use “one way email” to send messages that will be printed out and given to campers along with the daily post mail.
