Massawepie Tip of the Day #8 - Camp Mail

"Mail Call!"

When you're away at camp there is no better feeling when you receive a letter or "care" package from home.

Mail takes at least two-three days to reach camp and get properly distributed. With this in mind, we found the following mailing practices will ensure your Scout gets his deliveries:

Begin sending mail/packages on Wednesday, July 16th or Thursday, July 17th.

Stop sending packages by Tuesday, July 22nd

and mail by Wednesday July 23nd

All mail MUST have a Troop number on it.

Here's the address:

(Name) Troop 140

Massawepie Scout Camps

65 Massawepie Road

Tupper Lake, NY 12986

Getting mail from your Scout is essential also. Don't forget to send him off to camp with a couple of SASEs.

A card or a letter can be a welcome break for a Scout, or it can set off a bout of homesickness.

Please keep messages short and upbeat!
