An important part of camp for your child is being away from home and learning to function independently. For this reason, phone calls to or from home are limited to family emergency and your child’s birthday. While it may seem counterintuitive, campers transition and settle into the camp experience most smoothly without phone contact with home.
A camp birthday means your child will be celebrated through singing and special festivities planned by the staff and campers. Camp birthdays are the best! While we do not accept packages (even on birthdays), we encourage birthday cards and letters. We can also arrange a 10-minute phone call with your child on their birthday during rest hour.
Due to the sheer volume of potential calls, campers will not be able to call home for parent or sibling birthdays, anniversaries, etc.
