Mail Call!

Campers love getting mail! Send your camper a message during their session in the mail or with our email-my-camper tool.

camper mail guidelines

Campers can receive mail at afternoon Canteen on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday (two-week sessions only). Emails will be printed and mail will be sorted at 11:00 a.m on each mail day. Any mail or emails received after 11:00 a.m. will be delivered the following mail day. Mail won’t be delivered during outcamping (the first Thursday and Friday of two week sessions).

We recognize that campers enjoy receiving mail from home while at camp and want to continue to facilitate the “mail call” experience in a beneficial way that doesn’t distract or take away from the overall camp experience. Please follow these guidelines to help make this possible.

Campers do not have access to a computer to reply to your messages. Your messages are simply for their enjoyment and encouragement. Please keep the following guidelines in mind as you send emails:

  • Campers can receive letters, cards, and emails during their camp session.
  • Please do not send anything larger than a 9 x 12 envelope.
  • All letters and cards must be sent through the mail.
  • Parents cannot drop off letters or cards in the office to be passed out daily to their camper.
  • Send camper email to mycamper@campdeerrun.com
  • Please note your camper’s name and cabin in the address of the letter or the subject of the email.
  • One-line emails will not be delivered. Please send meaningful correspondence.
  • Send mail and emails that are uplifting, encouraging, and beneficial to your child’s experience.
  • Please do not send pictures as a part of any emails.

 

Note: For emergencies, please call the Camp Office directly.

Email your Camper

Emails will be printed at 11:00 am on mail days (Monday, Wednesday, Saturday). Emails received after this time will be delivered on the following mail day.

 

Emails that do not follow the mail guidelines above will not be delivered. Thanks for your help!

 

If you have an emergency and need to speak with your camper, please call our camp office, even if it is after hours.

    Send a letter

    If you want to send your camper a letter in the mail, please be sure to post the letter with plenty of time. Even local mail can take two or more days to arrive! We are unable to deliver mail  that is received after a camper's session has ended. Please address envelopes as shown here:
