- You are also able to call your daughter on the following dates: her birthday and her father’s and mother’s birthdays.
Mail
- Mail and packages will be distributed daily. We request that you refrain from sending items that have the potential to distract your daughter or other campers. Letters are very special to them.
Internet
- Your daughter will have access to internet twice a week. Either to send and receive emails or communicate through social media (Facebook, Facetime, Whats app, Skype, etc.). She may bring an electronic device for this with the apps that you have approved. She will not be able to download any apps during the camp. However, this device should not be considered to be her camera. If she would like to bring a camera she may.
