Campers are very busy while at Wanakita, so please do not be surprised if letters, postcards from camp are brief and infrequent. It's a good sign! Please consider sending stamped, self-addressed envelopes and paper with your child to make it easier for them to stay in touch. Please make sure YMCA Wanakita / Your child's name is in the address of incoming mail. Please keep communications from home upbeat, positive, and legible. Children need reassurance that there are friends and family out there who care about them and want them to have fun at camp. Don’t focus on the great times your child is missing at home, or on how much you miss your camper. If you get an unhappy letter from your children, please don’t panic. It is most likely that by the time you get the letter, whatever made them unhappy is long since forgotten. If you have a concern, please call us to discuss it. We want camp to be a positive experience for both campers and parents.
