How do I fill out the Summer Camp Medical Information Form?
Go online to your Camper Profile and click "Open Medical Information" to update this form (see photo). New: You can also add and schedule medications during the registration process or in your Camper Profile under the Medical Tab before coming to camp. Two weeks prior to your camper coming to camp, make sure the Medical Information Form is filled out and add any medications your camper will be bringing to the Camper Profile. |

How do I send mail to my camper?
All letters and cards addressed to your camper and sent via post office are welcome. Our mailing address is 9301 1575 East St, Tiskilwa, IL 61368. Please send all camper e-mails to mailbag@mennohaven.com. In the “subject” line, please put the campers full name. We do reserve the right to check all email for content unacceptable for a camp situation. Letters and emails received after 11:45 am will be handed out the next day. Mail received after 11:45 am on Friday (or Wednesday for Cottontail Camp) will not be handed out.
When and where does each week of camp end?
Each week of summer camp ends at Lakeview Lodge on Friday at 1:00 pm (for week long camps) and Wednesday at 1:00 pm for Cottontail Camp with a Closing Campfire Meal & Program. We think sharing a meal is a wonderful way to reconnect with your child (see more information under Closing Campfire Meal). Directly following the meal we will have our Closing Campfire Program with a time for program staff and campers to share memories, photos, and songs from the week. Parents and families are encouraged to join us for this end of camp event.
