Campers love to get mail so that they feel connected to home! Sending encouraging, positive letters from home is a great way to keep your camper happy and engaged. You should even receive some mail from her while she is at camp! If you do not receive any letters and are concerned, please notify the office . Keep in mind that Hunt is a rural area with a small post office, so sometimes our mail experiences a delay. 

Only campers celebrating birthdays at camp and first-year campers are able to receive packages. If you need to send something else to your camper, please contact the office to make arrangements.

All campers may receive one pre-ordered package during the term from our Camp Store! Click here to place your order today!

In addition to letters, we invite parents and grandparents to purchase email credits to send emails to campers. Login to Camp-In-Touch to access this feature. 

Please note: we do filter emails for G-rated language and content. Emails deemed inappropriate or containing foul language will be charged to the senders but will NOT be delivered to the campers. Inappropriate emails will also be sent home to parents.

Because the majority of inappropriate emails we have received in years past are sent by a campers’ siblings, friends, boyfriends and peers, we ask that ONLY parents, grandparents, and aunts be given the email system access code.

Short Term
Waldemar campers do not leave the camp grounds until camp is over, unless they have a doctor’s appointment and are accompanied by a Waldemar staff member. Picking up a camper for any reason during the camp term needs to be approved by the director.

Long Term
Waldemar campers do not leave the camp grounds except for camp sponsored trips. This means that parents do not take campers out of camp when they are here for the closing activities. Campers earn points for days in camp which contribute to earning their All-Star medal and tribal plaque points. Choosing to leave camp before the conclusion of the Final Program may result in loss of an All Star and is at the discretion of the directors.

Any camper missing* more than:

• 3 days (72 hours) of camp will not be eligible for tribal office and may not be eligible for war canoe (at the discretion of the tribal sponsors and directors).
• 4 days (96 hours) will not earn an All-Star and record card points
• A week (168 hours) will result in a camper being ineligible to attend that session

*If your daughter must miss any time at camp, please send notice in writing BEFORE her arrival at camp advising us of the dates that she will be gone.

During our Long Term sessions only, camper laundry is picked up by a commercial laundry service each Monday and is returned on Thursday or vice versa. Each piece of clothing must be marked in a conspicuous place with the child’s full name (on shirts at the neck; on pants and shorts in the waistband; on flat pieces in a corner).  Printed names should be put in any clothing you bring or send to camp. This is very important! Please put your daughter’s first and last name on the outside of her laundry bag. In case of loss, all marked items can be easily identified and returned. Mark everything including tennis rackets, helmets, etc. Waldemar will not be responsible for damage or loss, therefore, please do not send expensive or delicate clothing or valuable items.
