Why can’t campers receive or make phone calls?
A. With several types of camps often operating at the same time, we can have a few hundred campers on-site. With activities planned from the time campers arrive to the time they leave, it would be highly disruptive to all campers to stop the group for a few to make or take phone calls. As well, if we allowed campers to call home or parents to check-in throughout the week, we’d be undermining their potential to grow over the course of the camp session. Parents are encouraged to write letters which the campers receive at afternoon snack time. Once a camper is registered, information will be sent on a system that allows parents to e-mail their camper. Campers are encouraged to write home and materials are provided to do so.
