Telephone calls
Here at camp we understand that we are caring for a loved one and you may want to touch base. We ask you to work with us and understand that we have a jam-packed and fun-filled schedule. We are able to accommodate four (4) phone calls per evening. These spaces are first-come, first-served and must be requested by the camper or family. We understand that to be out of communication with your loved one, especially in today’s age of instant communication, can be very difficult. Please assist us and realize that this is a time for your loved one to learn and grow in a safe and enriching environment.
Should you have any questions or concerns about camp, or your camper’s adjustment to the camp program, please call the camp office and a member of our leadership team will be happy to speak with you. Please be aware that the camp day is packed with activities and our leadership team are usually out of the office, interacting with campers and counselors. However, if you leave a message with the office staff, your phone call will be returned within 24 hours.
Cell phones
Cell phones are strictly prohibited at Camp Jaycee. With campers and staff alike unplugged from the world of social media and constant communication via phones, we develop and environment that fosters strong friendships and connections amongst all of our camp family. Unfortunately, a small number of families chose to ignore this policy. This raises issues such as destruction of property, misuse of cell phones and conflicts among campers.
In the event a camper brings a phone to camp we will confiscate the phone and hold it in a secure space in the office until pickup. We encourage all families and caregivers to discuss this prior to camp check-in and leave all mobile devices at home.
Mailing
Campers love to receive mail during their stay at camp! Camp mail is distributed daily during lunch and dinner. You are more than welcome to deliver the package or letter to camp for distribution. Please include camper first and last name and cabin, if known; this way there is no delay for distribution. We encourage families to send positive messages in the letters. If needed, camp staff will help your camper read the card/letter. Packages are also accepted, but please keep in mind that if you are sending food and goodies, they will be reviewed by staff to ensure that there is no allergy concerns or other safety concerns that would disrupt the camp environment. If a problem is present, the articles will be confiscated by the leadership team.
