Communicating With Your Camper at Camp

MAIL

LETTERS ONLY: Campers love to receive mail! Write to your camper often, and keep it cheerful to prevent homesickness.  If you receive an unhappy letter from your camper, please do not get upset.  Children’s emotions change rapidly, and the letter you receive today may reflect a moment long forgotten. You may call us any time you are in doubt.  Should your camper become ill, or experience adjustment difficulties, their Division Leader will contact you.

To encourage your camper to write home or to relatives please send them with pre addressed, pre stamped postcards!  A postcard is less daunting to younger campers(or campers that do not like to write)then having to write a letter.

Please be sure relatives address mail to your camper’s full name.  A letter addressed to “Jenny” with no last name or a letter addressed to “sweetums” is probably not going to be delivered to the correct person.

We get TONS of mail at camp! We will only be accepting LETTERS at camp.  This means only mail that can be sent with one first class stamp.  NO Packages or Boxes of any kind will be accepted.    All packages and boxes will be kept in the office until your camper leaves camp.

BUNK1

Keep in touch with your camper by sending bunk notes through Bunk1.  Please reach out to the camp office for information to set up an account.

Campers are not allowed to use the phone. Camp days are full, and our staff spend most of their time on the grounds working with campers, so we appreciate your patience in our returning your call.

After hours or if our office staff are unavailable when you call, you can activate our emergency phone by dialing (603) 539-4710 and following the prompts to reach our emergency mailbox. Leave a brief message with your phone number and it will activate our emergency phone system. A Huckins staff member will call you back as soon as possible.
