Write and write often...Write pleasant news. Please feel free to send letters in advance or drop off a few with your camper's counselor on the first day of camp. Please do not fax letters to your camper up at camp.
It has been our experience that letters from campers with complaints or requests to come home are often reactions to incidents such as striking out during a game, getting into a disagreement with a bunkmate, or not being selected for the lead in a play. Usually, by the time the letter reaches home, the child has had the opportunity to work through the concern with their counselors and friends. If you receive a letter from your child that worries you, please call the camp for assistance.

TELEPHONE & CELL PHONES
Campers will not be called to the telephone except in an emergency situation. Please do not call your camper at camp or instruct him or her to call you. Do not send your camper to camp with a cell phone.
PACKAGES FROM HOME
Parents and other family members and friends enjoy sending "care packages" to the campers. Since camper may fill up on snacks and sweets and will not eat the balanced nutritious meals that are planed and served at camp, we ask that parents refrain from sending food in these packages.
Camps Airy and Louise strongly recommend sending non-food care packages!
NOTE: We are seeing an increasing number of campers who have moderate to severe allergies to nuts and food products made with nuts. We would very much appreciate your refraining from sending “care packages” with products containing peanuts or tree nuts, since these could inadvertently cause harm. We would also be grateful if you would pass this message to other family members or friends who might be sending care packages to your camper.
