FrançaisCommunicating With Your Child
The Telephone
For many of the same reasons that we do not allow cell phones at camp, campers do not have access to the phone in our office. We strongly suggest campers and parents use the mail. Children love receiving letters!
If it is necessary to call, the best time to reach someone is during meals, when people are usually accessible. Times are approximately 12:15 to 12:45, or 17:30 to 18:15. The phone may be busy at that time so don't expect to get through. Please ask to speak to a counsellor or director FIRST to find out how your child is doing especially if there is a chance that s/he may be homesick.
If you call outside of those times, then a message will be taken but please do not expect the camper to return your call unless it is urgent. The message will normally be given during a mealtime.
Campers who must place outgoing calls to their family (for a valid reason) must have permission from one of the directors. They are asked to call collect or use their calling card. Collect calls cannot be made to a cellular phone. Should you want to call the directors, we would be pleased to talk with you at any time.
Our policy is to contact families if any concerns arise including extreme homesickness.
