Communicating with my Daughter Q&A

Can my daughter call home?

We have limited phone availability.  The few phones that we do have must be available for camp business.  The council office maintains daily contact with camp and we will be happy to check on your camper if you have a concern.  Homesickness is not uncommon the first few days.  We find that by the second or third day, the campers have adjusted to the environment and become busy and happy campers.

 

Can I visit the camp?

We invite you to attend our Open House in June, which allows campers and their parents to visit the camp, tour the facility, and meet staff who will be working there.  The Camp Director will be available to answer any questions you may have. 

 

Can I e-mail my camper?

Camp Menzies uses an Internet program created by eCamp, a camp-based technology firm. Camp staff take pictures of all of the units daily and post them on the Camp Menzies, password-protected website.  Only parents who have campers registered for camp will be able to sign up for this service.  Through this site parents can set up a one-way e-mail account for their camper.  We will print the e-mails once a day and they will be distributed during mail call after lunch.  More information about eCamp will be sent with your camper confirmation packet.
