Communicating with Your Child

BUNK1 E-Mail

We are pleased to offer Ontario families one-way email for you to send messages to your children. Your children will communicate with you via old school written letters!
To access the one-way service, please set up an account with Bunk1 using the instructions found here.
Bunk notes are printed each morning and distributed with the mail daily.

Families from outside Ontario will receive an email with instructions of how to set up your account.

REGULAR MAIL 

Your children will communicate with you via old school written letters! We take mail to town regularly to be sent from the post office. It really helps if you provide your children with pre-addressed envelopes. We will provide postage.

Campers love getting old fashioned letters! Please address all mail to camp as follows:

Camper Name
Camp White Pine
1335 Camp White Pine Court
Haliburton, ON
KOM 1S0

All mail is sorted in the Tuck Shop and distributed daily.

If it isn’t flat, we send it back! 

Please do not send packages to your child.

You can send envelopes up to legal size, no larger than 1” thick. We only accept those sent by regular mail. No courier packages are allowed. You cannot send any food, candy or toys to your child. All large envelopes are opened and these items are removed. Only books, magazines and letters are given to the campers.

BIRTHDAYS: If your child is celebrating their birthday while at camp, we will make it a special day for them. We ask you not to send any food, candy, gifts, decorations, etc for the cabin. If you would like to send a small gift, such as a stuffy or a t-shirt, please mark your child’s birthday on the outside of the envelope and we will give it to them on their special day.

If your child requires essential items such as additional clothing or toiletries, please contact the camp office and we will assist you with arrangements.

We do not accept courier deliveries.

If your child needs clothing or other essential items, please call the camp office to make arrangements.

TELEPHONE CALLS

If you would like an update on your child feel free to contact the camp office. If any issues arise regarding your child we will contact you. As camp directors, we understand how important it is to work with parents should a child need help adjusting to camp life. Campers call home on their own birthday. Calls will be made after dinner, usually between 7:00 – 7:30 pm.

VISITOR’S DAY

For summer 2023, we will be having an in-person Visitors Day on Saturday, July 22. More details to come!
