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 this info on the first day of camp)
Camp Northland
4250 Haliburton Lake Road
Haliburton, ON K0M 1S0

BUNK NOTES, from Bunk1
All families will have the ability to send 'Bunk Notes' to your child, which is a one page letter that you compose and send through an app on your phone or browser on your computer and they will be delivered to your child by the next day! There are no limits to how many Bunk Notes your child can receive. There is a small fee per Bunk Note sent. 
Please note that campers cannot reply directly to emails.  Outgoing communication from camp is only via traditional mail.

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 ([email protected]) Assistant Director, social worker, and oversees our Camper and Staff Wellness team. 

More info about our Wellness program can be found here. 

Can my family come and tour camp?

Visitors Day
Visitors' Day will take place on Friday, July 25, which is the last day of First Period from 11:00am-3:00pm. 
First Period campers have the option to:

• Use our regular bus transportation (including baggage) back to the city.
• Families can have the chance to enjoy a fun visit with their children at camp, and pick them up at the same time. Parents who choose to pick up their children after First Period will also be expected to take home all camper baggage on this day.

Period Plus campers, Full Summer campers and CITs can enjoy a fun visit at camp with their families on this day!
If you are bringing a dog, they must be on least, and you must provide us with a copy of up to date vaccinations

What if we need financial assistance from the camp?

We encourage you to apply immediately and we pledge to offer as much financial assistance as possible to each and every family. You can apply by contacting us at [email protected].
