If your child is flying, we will e-mail you by 8 p.m. MDT of Opening Day to let you know that your camper has arrived safely at camp. It is important that we have an accurate e-mail address. Please login to your Camp InTouch account to update and confirm your current contact information.

Counselor reports, which contain information concerning participation, citizenship, health, and personal happiness will be emailed to parents throughout the term. Please keep directors informed if you have any concerns about your child’s experience. Our website includes a general report each week about the program at camp and photos of camp activities.

On the enrollment form, all parents signed the following release:

Release Form

The camps will be photographing and filming campers and activities during each camp session for promotional purposes. If you object to the use of photos and/or videos of your child, please notify the directors in writing.

The camps post photos into Camp InTouch account and they will be available to view early Monday morning. Due to our individualized program and a wide variety of trips, we cannot promise that all campers and staff will be included in each week’s photo upload.

We will offer a one-way e-mail service through the Camp InTouch Online Community. To begin to send emails, you must first purchase “Camp Stamps” by adding a credit card under the “Credit Card for Email and Photos” link on your Dashboard.

Most emails only require one “Camp Stamp” to send, though special stationery, games and photos will require more “Camp Stamps”.

Emails are printed each morning then delivered with the regular mail. Emails sent after 8 a.m. MDT will be printed and delivered the following day.

If you have email questions that cannot be answered using the “Help” link, please call us at 719-748-3341.

If you plan to send a parcel to your child, please keep in mind that books, games, stationery, toys and other inedible items are acceptable. Please communicate with other family members and limit packages to one per week, per child. Do not send items of great personal or monetary value or anything shipped in packing peanuts.

Campers have a choice of treats at the camp store, which is amply supplied. Birthdays in camp are celebrated with decorated cookie cakes that are shared at informal unit parties. Therefore, please DO NOT send food to campers that is not required as a supplement to previously supplied allergy or gluten-free foods.

An excess of sugary or “empty calorie” foods like candy, chips, and processed snack foods have been shown to have a negative impact on a child’s immune system and energy levels, which lead to more visits to the Health Center and less enjoyment of the camp experience.

All parcels should be sent before the end of June for First Session campers, and before the end of July for Second Session campers. This will allow your child to enjoy their care package and help alleviate packing problems on closing day.
