Phone, Email, and Mail Communication
May I call my child or can my child call me during the camp week?
- Calls home can be very disruptive for a cabin group and take away from the true camp experience for all campers. Cell phones are NOT allowed. The single biggest reason that the camp experience is so intense and transformational is that campers "unplug" and focus on the people and natural world around them. For this reason, campers do not call home during the camp week. If it is important to talk to your child during the camp week, or you have questions/concerns about this policy, please contact a Program Director to discuss this and make a plan for your child. Program Directors may be reached at 828-684-2361.
Can I email my child and/or can my child email me?
- We offer one-way email service to your child through Bunk1. The Bunk1 information letter will be provided for you when we confirm your camper registration. If you registered online, it’s also part of the supplemental forms section that you can access upon completion of your registration. We don’t offer a service for your child to email you, but we still encourage letter writing and have outgoing mail daily.
What about mail through the US Postal Service?
- Campers LOVE getting mail!
- Please note Lutheridge and Lutherock have DIFFERENT addresses:
- Lutheridge; 2049 Upper Laurel Drive; Arden, NC 28704.
- Lutherock; 84 Camp Luther Road; Newland, NC 28657.
- For each site, be sure to include the camper’s full name and area or program on the envelope to help with delivery to your camper
- Care packages can be mailed as well. Please remember, if you send any food in the care package, it will be removed from the cabin and stored in the canteen area where the camper will have access to it every evening. This discourages God's woodland creatures from wandering into the cabin in search of a good snack.
- Post any mail before Wednesday for likely delivery.
