Camper Communication

Parent-Camper Communication

Campers love to hear from home. Adults also love to hear from camp. That’s why Family Connection exists. Learn about camp activities see the camp blog and daily photos from camp. We post information about your camper’s schedule, the food, the weather, all camp activities, and our staff. It’s a great place to get real time information about camp. You can also send them notes from home.

Mail

There’s nothing quite like a physical letter from home. You can save on postage and ensure timely delivery by prewriting letters and dropping them off with our staff at the time you check your camper in as well. Please address all mail.

Email

We will print and deliver one email message per day to a camper. Messages are plain text only and must be in the body of the email (images and attachments will not be opened or printed). Emails are printed and distributed once a day in preparation for campers’ rest time after lunch. Emails received after 10 a.m. will be delivered the next day.

To ensure delivery you must put the name of the camp (either Little Cloud or Conestoga) and your camper’s First and Last Name in the subject line.

For example:  Camp Little Cloud-Juliette Low

Guidelines for Writing to Your Camper

Be positive and encouraging!

DON’T Tell Her:

  • About everything you are doing without her.
  • Trips or fun things she’s missing out on.
  • That her baby sister cried herself to sleep because she didn’t read her a bedtime story.
  • How much you MISS her.
  • That she can call you anytime and you will pick her up if she is homesick.
  • About an ill relative or hurt animal.

DO Tell Her:

  • You know she’s having a good time.
  • You can’t wait to hear all about her new friends, the fun activities she’s doing, to see her art projects or to learn all of the new songs she’s singing.
  • That you hope she’s writing down songs, names of new friends and taking lots of pictures.
