Question 9

Can I get in touch with my child?

Accepted Answer

We welcome over one hundred children each week, and to help children become self-sufficient, communications are allowed in case of emergency only. Also, there is no system in place allowing forwarding emails to children.

We suggest you write letters to your child; here’s how:
Before arrival at the camp, you can write your letters addressed to your child. These letters will be given during his stay on the dates indicated on the envelope. This is a preferred way of doing things, as the mail often arrives after the campers have finished their stay at the camp.

If you would like your child to write a letter to you during their stay:
We invite him to write to you during relaxation time. For this reason, standard size letter paper, pen and envelope are indicated in the camper kit. If you would like to receive the letter by mail, make sure you leave a pre-paid envelope, according to the Canada Post postage rates,(https://www.canadapost-postescanada.ca/cpc/en/personal/stamp-prices.page) with your postal address on it. (Rates 2024: $1.15 to Canada, $1.40 to the US, $2.92 to international.)

Question 10

Will children be able to wash their clothes during their stay?

Accepted Answer

There is laundry service for those attending the camp for 12 nights or more (2 weeks or more). It is the reason why we’re asking that you stick to the list of items mentioned in the "Camper Kit" under the tab documents.(https://www.campclarac.ca/en/documents)
