There will be a mail call each evening. This has become a fun part of the day. Why? Because nobody just gets to pick up his or her mail. Campers must “earn” their mail. I’m sure they will tell you all about this time, which is all done in good fun. As far as getting mail back home? It’s rare, but we’ve heard that it does happen.
