CAMP Expectations

 
How will I arrive at camp?

If you are flying, your parents will see you off on the plane and then at the Minneapolis Airport, one of our staff wearing a Camp Lincoln & Camp Lake Hubert Shirt and usually holding a Camp Sign will meet you when you get off the plane.  Our staff will stay with you and help you get to our chartered buses for a short trip (about 2 ½ hours) to Camp.

If you are coming by bus from the Twin Cities Area, you will board the bus at Concord School in Edina and then head up to Camp (about a 2 hour drive).

Once you arrive you will:

-Meet your cabin staff
-Call your parents
-Settle in and meet the other campers in your cabin

If your parents are bringing you, you will arrive between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. After check in, you will meet your staff, settle into your cabin and meet your cabin mates.  Please feel free to walk around camp with your parents, so they can see all of the great things you will be doing!

How do my family and friends keep in touch with me?

1.  They can send letters or postcards. Also, please do not forget to bring stationary, postcards and stamps of your own to write to them, too. 

Please have friends and family mail letters or postcards to:

Your name
c/o Camp Lincoln or Camp Lake Hubert
P.O. Box 1308
Lake Hubert, Mn 56459.

2.  Your parents may also fax or email you every day, and mail is delivered daily, except on Sundays (please see email procedures in the Parent Packet).

3.  Please remember that we encourage mail, but discourage packages.

Who will be in my cabin?

You will be with campers who have just completed about the same grade as you have and who come from areas all over this country or the world, so you can start to make a group of new friends right away.

There are also four or five of our great staff who live right in the cabin with you and they are there to make sure you feel safe and to help you have a really fun and great time while at camp.

Campers attending for four or eight weeks will be in different cabins than campers coming for two weeks.

Tennis and Golf campers have their own respective cabins, too!

How do I choose my activities?

Once you get to camp, your staff will help you choose and sign up for your first set of activities (up to four each day), which are repeated for three days in a row.  Then, you will have another chance to sign up for the same activities or a whole new set of activities for the next three days.  It is a great system that allows you to learn new things and then continue or try something else for the next three days.

Start thinking now about what you might want to sign up for on the first day…Summer will be here before we know it!
