MAIL & CARE PACKAGES 

Kids love to receive mail! We strongly encourage lots of letter writing as a means of parents and children staying in touch during the summer. In addition to a letter from Mom & Dad, they also can’t wait for a “care package”. Following are some suggestions of items to include in a package to your child. Please feel free to suggest other items to include on the list for next year.

NO FOOD! fancy socks sun visors

hats sunglasses books

postcards comic books posters

small games toiletries stickers

inexpensive jewelry stationary pins

small stuffed animals rubber stamps/pads stamps

fancy pens t-shirts NO FOOD!

Items from the Windsor Mountain “on-line” store at www.windsormountain.org/store

We do request that care packages NOT contain food or candy of any kind. When kids have a constant supply of candy and other “empty-calorie” snacks from home, they tend to have little appetite or inclination for more nourishing foods at mealtimes. In addition, prepackaged candy and snacks also create a litter and rodent problem at camp; especially in and around the cabins and other living areas. We are very strict about this policy and will dispose of any food items sent to campers. We appreciate your cooperation.

HOMESICKNESS

If your child becomes homesick, a camp director will contact you so we can work together to resolve the situation. We have written an article about how to prepare for and handle homesickness at camp. If you would like this article, please  click here.
