Note to Parents

Boys who are sent to Camp St. Peter will not be permitted to contact home/parents by phone or email (except in cases of necessity) during the course of the camp. Letters will be permitted and encouraged, and care packages may be received by the boys at any time. However, private snacks and treats are not allowed, so any food brought to camp will become a community snack. No cell-phones, i-Pods, laptops, MP3s, CD players, radios, or any other electronic devices will be permitted at Camp St. Peter at any time. Parents will be provided with the phone and email contact information of the director in case there is a serious need to contact their child.
