Dear Indian Brook Parents.
I hope this letter finds you well, and that you are excited for your child to arrive at Indian Brook this Sunday for what is sure to be a memorable summer for your children.
You may drop your child at Indian Brook between 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, July 25, 2010. Sarah Kinsler and I will be anxiously awaiting your arrival by the Indian Brook Barn to welcome you and direct you to your lodge. For new parents, First Lodge is for 9 to 10-year-olds, Big Lodge is for 11 to 12-year-olds, and Senior Lodge is the for 13 to 14-year-olds.
Before you leave, please remember not to pack any food for your children. At no time can they ever have food in the cabins, as it attracts animals very quickly. If you child is coming on the New York City Charter bus, please send her with a bagged lunch as it is a long trip. Secondly, please no iPods, laptops, cell phones or valuables. If a counselor finds any of these items after you have left, they will be taken from your child and kept in the office until she leaves camp. Please feel free to bring a musical instrument. Lastly, mark your children’s clothes with their first and last name, this includes their underwear and socks.
What to expect when you arrive:
Once you place your child’s luggage into her assigned cabin, you and your child should then proceed to the main lodge to confirm trip choices in addition to getting a lice check. If your child is on any regular medication, please drop off the meds with Marni before you leave. The next step is to proceed to the waterfront where every child has a swimming evaluation with our waterfront safety staff to determine what group they will be in for swimming lessons. At 3 p.m., there will be a parent orientation with me in the Main Lodge.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thank you, and we look forward to seeing you on Wednesday.
Best,
Nicole Sutherland-Maiden
