How to Keep in Contact with Campers at Camp

Regular mail is the best way to keep in touch with campers. The summer camp address is:

CAMPER’S NAME
CAMP WHITE PINE
R.R. #1
HALIBURTON, ONATRIO
CANADA
K0M 1S0

 

LETTER WRITING INFORMATION FOR PARENTS


We suggest that you write to your children about 3-5 days before they leave for camp. This will help to overcome any long delivery delay. For example, it may take 5-7 days for a letter to go from Toronto to camp (or vice versa). From Mexico, Europe and the rest of the world, etc., allow 10-12 days or more.

Mark the camper's section and cabin number (provided on the first postcard mailed to you) on the envelope. If you don't receive a letter, do not be alarmed as mail from Haliburton can be very slow. Letter writing is compulsory for the Kiwis, Koalas and Blue Dolphins (8-12 year olds). Write to the camper and ask for return correspondence.

TELEPHONE CALLS


Please do not call camp with the expectation of speaking with your child. If there is a problem, we will call you. Campers will call home only on their own birthday. For all other occasions, hope for a card, a letter, a pin made in copper enameling, or a postcard, BUT NOT A PHONE CALL. Birthday telephone calls will be made between 7:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Toronto time.

NOTE: WE DO NOT OPERATE A FAX MACHINE OR USE EMAIL AT THE CAMP OFFICE IN HALIBURTON DURING THE CAMP SEASON

"IF IT ISN'T FLAT WE SEND IT BACK"

This policy eliminates delivery vehicles driving in and out of camp, and alleviates pressure on parents and other relatives to send packages. If you need clothing sent to your children, please contact our Toronto office or the camp office to make appropriate arrangements. We appreciate your understanding and support.
