Communicating with campers- Mail, Email, and Packages policy
'SNAIL MAIL'
Campers love getting mail and we encourage you to write often. We do our best to ensure your child writes home twice weekly. We suggest that you give your camper a few pre-addressed, stamped envelopes per week to make letter-writing easier. The mailing address is:
Camper’s Name
Unit/Section #_ Cabin # _ (you will receive on the first day of camp)
Camp Northland
4250 Haliburton Lake Road
Haliburton, ON K0M 1S0
EMAIL:
You can also send camper email to mail@campnbb.com and we will accept up to two 2 emails per week per camper (regardless of sender). We will print them out at camp and deliver them with our camper and staff mail. Please note that campers cannot reply directly to emails. Emails should be text only, no images should be included, and if they are they will not be printed. Please note, we no longer accept faxes.
Make sure to include in your email subject line: Camper name, Unit/Section number, and Cabin number or it will not be delivered.
Please note: The culture of camp makes it much more exciting for a camper to receive regular mail over email.
PACKAGES:
We do not allow packages. Packages will not be delivered nor returned. They end up being opened, separated, and then donated or thrown out depending on the contents.

What kind of social-emotional support can the campers expect?
Each summer our staff works hard to acclimate campers to the experience of being away from home and to support kids in making new friends as they leave behind the digital world. They guide children and teens in their efforts to try out new skills as they stretch beyond their comfort zone. While we know that our campers have experienced disruption to their lives in countless ways, we are confident that Camp remains a place where kids can relax and have fun, connect with friends, explore Judaism and feel a sense of belonging. We have an exceptional team of camper care professionals who will continue the work of meeting campers where they are at and partnering with parents to support a successful summer at Camp.
If your family is in need of additional support to deal with these trying times, please reach out to Daniela Aptowitzer (daniela@campnbb.com) Director of Camper and Staff Wellness (social worker).
More info about our Wellness program can be found here.

As always, we have significant philanthropic support from our community to assist families in need for the summer of 2022. We encourage you to apply immediately and we pledge to offer as much financial assistance as possible to each and every family. If the addition of a Covid Surcharge fee creates a new unexpected barrier for your family, please apply for support and we pledge to help every family that we can. You can apply by contacting us at happycamper@campnbb.com.
Full scholarship support is also available for the covid surcharge for families in need of additional support.
