June 2011 printed - Island Lake Camp
Island Laker June 2011 ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Dear Island Lakers “Schooooooooool’s Out,… for Summer!” Sing it again,…louder,…at the top of your lungs! “Schooooool’s Out Forever!” Ok, maybe not forever, but summer will suffice. Well, we've finally moved up to camp for summer 2011 and we can't tell you how INCREDIBLE it feels to be back at our favorite home once again. Waking to the sounds of morning birds and the smell of the fresh country air,...ok, ok, we’ll stop rubbing it in, but it feels so fantastic to be back here at camp once again. We've officially started pre-camp and we have many of your favorite counselors, as well as some new ones, here with us setting up camp for your arrival in only a few more weeks. This will be our last newsletter before camp begins, so be sure to read every last word cover to cover. There is A LOT of important information in this newsletter for both parents and campers so make sure you share, share, share! We’re always tossing in new important information that benefits everyone. Our winter office is officially closed for the season so please remember to address all correspondence to: Island Lake Camp 50 Island Lake Rd. Starrucca, PA, 18462. Our phone number is now 570-798-2550 and our fax is 570-798-2346. The toll free number does not reach us at camp and we will not get any messages left on our Pleasantville, NY voicemail. Of course, we can still be reached via email at [email protected]. We are SO EXCITED for all of our campers and staff to join us here at ILC! Now hurry up and finish school so you can get here already! “No more ! pencils, no more books, no more teachers’ dirty looks!” Fondly, Bev, Mike, Matt, Wendy, Trip, Lisa, & Craig New Activity! This summer, we will begin to offer classes in digital photography! If you are interested in learning to shoot digital pictures and edit them in Photoshop, then please pack a digital camera (preferably not a fancy one). We will no longer offer traditional photography, so there is no need to pack black & white film. Last Minute Reminders When writing to children and staff at camp, please remember to put their full names on the envelope. Please note the dates of this summer's sessions: Session 1: Saturday, June 25 – Thursday, July 14 Session 2: Thursday, July 14 – Tuesday, August 2 Session 3: Tuesday, August 2 – Monday, August 15 Transportation forms were due May 1st. By mid-June, you will receive your children’s luggage tags along with their bus stop information and directions. If you do not fill out your children’s Transportation Forms, we will assign them to buses. Please keep in mind that these assignments cannot be changed. A reminder to all families who live flying distance from camp: We will provide you with linens, blankets, and towels upon your arrival. We would recommend, however, that you supply a few extra beach towels. Those campers flying to Newark Airport will soon receive a package with additional airport information and an Island Lake tshirt. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE wear this shirt on the day you fly to camp. Packing for Camp In your folder of materials, you should have received a suggested clothing list. Please use this as a guide to pack for camp. Remember that everything must be labeled with your camper's name. Linens (towels, sheets, blankets, pillows, and pillowcases) will be provided to those campers who fly to camp. All other campers must bring their own linens Please remember that we cannot accommodate hard trunks. Duffel bags are best; they hold a lot. Remember to place your child’s name on all duffels and suitcases. Luggage is limited to two pieces per camper as we cannot fit more than this in our luggage transport the day your child travels to camp. Luggage space on our buses is limited and we want to avoid unnecessary problems. Additionally, all duffles/soft trunks/suitcases must have the Island Lake luggage tags which will be mailed to you in the upcoming weeks. Small carry-on luggage will be permitted on the bus. If you have an item that is difficult to take on the bus (such as a fishing rod), please see one of our staff members at the bus stop. They will be happy to help you find a place for it. Island Lake is a 'casual dress' camp. Laundry is done weekly and returned to the campers and staff the same day. Therefore, campers only need about one week's supply of clothing. One or two 'dressup' outfits may be desired for socials or for the end-of-summer banquet (August 14th). Otherwise, shorts, t-shirts, jeans, and sweatshirts are the usual dress code. Don’t forget to pack a jacket for rainy days, too! We will continue to enforce a policy of one-piece swimsuits for girls at the waterfront, around camp, and on any out of camp trips we take (including the teen trips). Please understand that this policy is in your daughter’s best interest. We ask that you make certain that only appropriate swimsuits are packed. Also, our hilly, rocky terrain is not suited for platform shoes. For your daughter’s safety, please do not send them to camp. We want to avoid unnecessary injuries. Please leave any potentially dangerous items (pocket knives, laser pointers, fireworks, lock boxes, matches, lighters, etc.) at home. They are strictly forbidden at camp. Good jewelry is not necessary at camp. Video cameras, televisions, laptops, and expensive electronic games or equipment are unnecessary and unacceptable. Music players are NOT a necessity at camp and are therefore a “use at your own risk” item to be kept in the bunks at all times. Please read your Parent Handbook for more detailed information regarding these rules and policies. Cell phones are strictly prohibited. Although your child may possess an iPhone (or similar device), cell phones are explicitly forbidden at our camp and will be confiscated and mailed home if your child attempts to bring them. All devices capable of receiving a data connection via cell service (even if it’s not enabled) are prohibited. Any iPad or other device that may have this capability will be inspected. Any item with cellular capability will be confiscated and mailed home. Please help avoid this uncomfortable situation and make sure your child does not bring (or sneak) any forbidden items to camp. Packing for camp can be overwhelming, so keep it simple. Please refer to your Suggested Packing List and Suggested Equipment List for detailed information regarding packing. Campers should bring items related to their activities of interests, such as a tennis racket, dance shoes, baseball glove, white t-shirts for tie-dye, etc. If you have any questions, please give us a call and we’d be happy to help you. And remember, Island Lake is a non-uniform camp. Each camper will receive an Island Lake t-shirt at camp (except flying campers who will receive theirs prior to their arrival to wear on the airplane to camp).

Island Lake will be “tweeting” again this summer. You can find us at twitter.com/IslandLakeCamp. We are going to post new tweets as often as we can, given our busy schedule. We are going to let you know, in general, what is happening in camp. We will let you know what group activities are happening, what the weather is doing, what the meals are, and anything else we can think of. We will not be “tweeting” about individual campers but just about camp life in general. This is an effort to allow those of you who are too old to attend camp to get a better idea of what is happening each day. We hope you check our account often and share the camp experience with us! FYI Sophie Heiman and Maddy Lido went toe to toe at a dance competition in Patchogue, Long Island. Both of their dances placed in the top five high scores! Way to go Girls! Jordanna Drazin was recently cast in a Sony Pictures movie called Damsels in Distress. Jordanna plays a flashback version of one of the main characters. It is directed by Whit Stillman and stars Greta Gerwig and Adam Brody. The movie will be released in the fall and we can’t wait to see it!
