Email and SummerAddress Questions:
Can I email my camper?
Can I email my camper?
This is up to your camp. If your camp has added this feature, you will see the Email link in the Online Community section of your account. There, you can select the camper recipient and add a message. If this is not available to you, we recommend you reach out to your camp directly to see what their camper communication options are.
My child is a staff member at camp, but their name is not showing up in the email page.
My child is a staff member at camp, but their name is not showing up in the email page.
Campminder does not offer the ability for parents and guests to email staff through our system. Many camps allow staff to check their personal email periodically during the week. Contact your camp directly to find out their policy regarding contacting staff.
Can my camper email me back?
Can my camper email me back?
Yes! But in a somewhat unique way. When sending an email, you may see an option to ârequest a handwritten replyâ. If you check this box, your camper will receive a blank sheet of paper to write back to you, which will be delivered to your eLetter inbox on this site. Replies can be read at a cost of one CampStamp per page. Note- if you do not see this option, it is not available for your childâs camp and cannot be enabled.
Does selecting add-ons like Sudoku or SmartWords count towards the character limit on an email?
Does selecting add-ons like Sudoku or SmartWords count towards the character limit on an email?
Yes, it does. If you select additional features like SmartWords or Sudoku, they will be included as part of the one page email to your camper. The system recognizes this, and prevents you from going over the limit - so no need to worry; your camper will see all the text the page will allow you to type. An error will be presented if youâve gone over the maximum character limit.
Can I use foreign characters (non-Latin alphabet) in my Email?
Can I use foreign characters (non-Latin alphabet) in my Email?
No. The email system only supports the Latin alphabet. We are currently unable to send message in Hebrew, Russian, Chinese, or any other languages that use characters outside of the Latin alphabet. Additionally, the system does not currently support sending emojis.
When will my email be printed and distributed to my child?
When will my email be printed and distributed to my child?
This answer varies from camp to camp. Since the answer is dependent on what camp your child attends, it would be best to call them directly to inquire. Campminder tech support cannot answer this question for you.
I donât think my camper got my email. How can I see if it was delivered?
I donât think my camper got my email. How can I see if it was delivered?
Youâll have access to a âSent Boxâ within the Email section of CampInTouch. Go to your homepage, then access Email. Youâll find a link for âPrevious Emailsâ towards the top of the page. Clicking it will bring up a new window. You can find emails that youâve sent earlier in this window. A status of âPendingâ means that youâve sent it, but your childâs camp has yet to print it out. A status of âDeliveredâ indicates that it has been printed to be ready to be delivered to your child.
Can I email my camper directly from my email program (Gmail, Outlook, etc.?)
Can I email my camper directly from my email program (Gmail, Outlook, etc.?)
Yes; each camper has a SummerAddress that can be used with any email program. More information can be found by clicking the orange SummerAddress banner within the Email section. Basically, youâll enable the SummerAddress within that same banner, and then be able to email your camperâs unique address directly from your email account.
Note: CampStamps are still required and debited when using the SummerAddress.
Can anyone email my child at their SummerAddress?
Can anyone email my child at their SummerAddress?
Yes and No. Anyone can email your camper at their SummerAddress as long as the following conditions are met:
A Guest Account has been made for the person. We only want people who you have authorized to email your child to be able to, so theyâll need a guest account first.
Permission within their Guest Account has been given to email the Camper. If you donât know if youâve granted this permission, access the Guest Accounts page and click âManageâ next to your guest. In the new window, ensure that the box is checked next to your camperâs name in the âyour guest may emailâ section.
The email to your Camper's SummerAddress originates from a Parent or Guest Account on file with CampInTouch. The SummerAddress will not take emails from unauthorized senders, eliminating the possibility of spam or other unwanted email being delivered to your camper.
Is there a limit to the email length sent to a camper's SummerAddress?
Is there a limit to the email length sent to a camper's SummerAddress?
Yes; each email can have a maximum of 5,000 characters. Additionally, your message will need to fit on one printed page.
Can I send an email attachment to my child at camp using the SummerAddress?
Can I send an email attachment to my child at camp using the SummerAddress?
No. Attachments will not be delivered; only text can be sent using your childâs SummerAddress. If youâd like to attach a picture, you can use the Send-A-Smile feature at the bottom of the Email page on CampInTouch.
Note: Not all campâs allow for Send-A-Smile due to printer restrictions.

How do I set up a Guest Account for our family & friends?
Select Guest Accounts under the Online Community section. Supply the guestâs information, and then click the button to Create Guest Account. You must opt in any camper that you would like your guest to be able to email. Two things to note - Guest Accounts can only be created by custodial parents, and not all camps offer guest accounts. If you do not see this option, your childâs camp has elected not to use this feature.
My Guest did not receive their login information, what do I do?
My Guest did not receive their login information, what do I do?
Ask your Guest to check their Junk/Spam email folder. Sometimes this email can get filtered there.
Double check that you have the correct email address for your Guest. Click on the 'Manage' button next to that person's Guest Account. If their email address is incorrect, create a new Guest Account for them with their correct email address, and delete the old, incorrect account.
Resend your Guest's Login Information by clicking on the 'Resend Inviteâ button next to their Guest Account.
If your guest does not receive the resend email invite, their email server may be rejecting it. This is something beyond our controlâsome companies and corporations have strict email filters that may prevent the email from being delivered. If this is the case, ask your guest to supply a personal email instead.
If a guest does not respond to the invite after three days, youâll need to send them a new email invite.
I gave my guest some CampStamps, but did not receive a confirmation email. Did they receive the CampStamps?

Technology and Browser FAQ
For optimal performance on CampInTouch, it's recommended to use the latest version of your web browser (Google Chrome, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, or Apple Safari.)
Regularly updating your browser enhances your overall web browsing experience, not just on CampInTouch. While some browsers update automatically, others might need you to manually download the latest version.
You can find the newest versions of the five most popular web browsers on this page:
APPLE IOS
What Versions of Apple IOS are Supported?
Apple supports the last three versions of its operating systems for bug and security updates, so if your iPhone runs iOS 13 you should be ok. So that means Apple supports the iPhone 6s or newer when it comes to software updates. In fact, in January 2023 Apple updated iOS 12 with a security update, which will have covered iPhone 6 and iPhone 5s.
However, we would advise that if you have an iPhone 6 or older and are concerned about security it is time to update your iPhone.
