NO FOOD, NO PHONES!
Bauercrest is a peanut- and tree nut-free environment , and we have campers with other serious food allergies as well. Parents may NOT bring or send food into camp, except for water bottles and Gatorade. The Mess Hall is open all day. If your camper gets hungry, he can get a snack there. Because you know who really loves snacking in the bunk? Our tiny (and sometimes not-so-tiny), furry, four-legged neighbors. So let’s not give them a reason to visit. Campers (with the exception of our oldest campers) are NOT ALLOWED to bring cell phones, iPod Touches, or any other devices with Wi-Fi connectivity. All unauthorized devices will be held by administration until pick-up. All first-time Bauercrest families will receive an email from me on the first night of camp with a photo and update on how your camper is settling in. Throughout the summer, you are welcome to communicate with me, Ken, Jen, and our nursing staff. This will allow the counselors to focus on their most important task: keeping your kids safe and happy. : ) We do not allow phone calls with your child while he is at camp; but in addition to writing him letters the old-fashioned way, you
can email him using Camp Stamps. These purchased in your Camp In Touch account and shared with friends and family. Emails are printed every day and delivered with the rest of the mail. Please note that your child will not be able to email you back; this option exists purely for your convenience. No screens for him except the ones on the windows... just pens and paper, like in the olden days. Please provide your camper with stamped envelopes addressed to anyone you’d like him to keep in touch with. If you’re hoping for six letters while he’s away, tell him that… and address six envelopes to yourself so he knows to fill them! We’re always reminding them to write letters, but expectations are different in every family and really need to be set by you!
You are welcome to send packages to your camper (we keep our Amazon drivers very, very busy those seven weeks we’re in session), but remember… NO FOOD OR CANDY! For safety reasons, we open all packages before we deliver them to the bunks, and all food and candy will be confiscated! Photos will be posted daily and can be accessed through your CampInTouch account. Please understand that you will not see your camper in photos every day, or even every other day. With that said, if you find that it’s been a while since you last saw his smiling face, email stacy@bauercrest.org and we’ll take care of it!
