Send a Quick Email
Every year, my sisters send great emails to family and friends so that everyone knows when their respective kids will be at camp, where to write and what is acceptable to send.
This is a great idea because it gets the camper’s extended family engaged in letter-writing – without the typical confusion of having to figure out the camp address, guessing what the camp will allow etc and only remembering to write after the camper comes home.
This letter is also the perfect place to let folks know if and how they can email the camper or send bunk notes (which often cost extra).
Following is a sample letter, based on my Kate’s letter this year.
Happy writing!
Hi Everyone!
