Whether it is a piece of mail or an email, campers love to receive word from home! All mail  is distributed to campers after lunch, typically at the beginning of rest time. The first full day of camp is an excellent time for mail because many campers are just starting to get comfortable and settled within their groups – and camp itself – and it’s nice to hear encouraging words from home. Letters may need to be mailed the week prior or discreetly passed to a staff member during Check-In if you would like to ensure your camper receives it during the first few days of camp! Emails are quick ways to send messages to your child. If you plan to send your child a “care package”, send puzzles, comic books, stuffed animals, etc.; please do not send snacks or other food items. Cedarkirk provides all of the snacks your child will need and extra goodies tend to attract bugs and critters into the cabins and lodges. We encourage you to write to your child and let them know that you are thinking of them and that you are proud of them.

Camper mail may be sent to the following address:

[Camper Name and Group] (Group information will be given to you at Check-In)
Cedarkirk
1920 Streetman Drive
Lithia, FL  33547

You can also email messages to camper@cedarkirk.org. Please include the camper’s first and last name in the subject line, along with their Group, and limit all emails to one page in length. We do not print attached files. Please read the “How can my child communicate with me?” FAQ if you want to receive a reply back from your camper by fax or email. In order to maintain a community-focused program, we do not allow campers to use the phone, but we will make sure they receive any emergency phone messages.
