  2. Fill out each page then press the "continue" button
  3. Complete the form with your electronic autograph (electronically signing your name)
• Step 3: Request a Roommate for your Camper's Cabin

  Is there someone your camper wants to create lifelong memories with this week? We've got you covered!
  

  Roommate Policy: Up to 3 friends can room together in the same cabin. Roommates requests will be available on May 30. The parent or guardian will receive an email at that time explaining how to complete the roommate request online.

  Follow these directions after May 30th and let the memories begin!

  1. Click on the Roommate Request Icon
     
  2. Enter the friend's name, their parent's email, and watch for them to approve your request!

  
  You're all set! Again, we ask that you limit your roommate requests to only two friends. Make sure you have confirmed your roommate no later than 1 month prior to camp.
  
  Nervous about not having a roommate request? Don't be. There are so many amazing people that will be in your camper's cabin this week, they'll make friends quick and fast!

• Step 4: Put Money on Your Camper's Account
  1. Select "Store Account"
     
  2. Add how much you would like to add and if you would like to donate the balance.
     
  3. We suggest putting $15-$25 on your camper's account so they will have access to money to buy snacks and souveniers!
      

  If they run out of money during the week— no problem! Use this same portal to put money into your camper's account remotely. 

• Step 5: Make Additional Payments

  Making a payment on your camper's week is easy. No worries, it's simple.

  1. Click on "make a payment" and follow the prompts.
     

  Remember to make all of your payments in full one month in advance of camp!

While Your Camper Is Away

• Send Mail

  SPECIAL NOTE ON PARCELS TO CAMPERS
  We are now asking parents to no longer drop off or send any parcels or packages for your student at camp this year. We also ask that you no longer send additional food items in your students luggage to camp. This is due to several reasons: the camp provides a balanced diet, including desserts, each day for the entire week. In addition, there is a daily scheduled snack bar time for children to purchase a drink, candy and/or ice cream. The third and most important reason is the increase in the variety and range of allergies that children enter our camp community with, creating increased concern for unintended allergic reactions.
  

  Birthdays can still be honored with arrangements made ahead of time with the RWC Administrative Lead.

  Thank you for complying with this request to help keep Redwood Camp safe and caring for all students.

  Everybody Likes Mail — Especially at camp! When sending letters to your camper, make sure to focus on the fun and interesting things that are happening at camp, rather than lots of reminders or news from home. (That will help a lot with homesickness!) If you would like to guarantee that your camper will get all of their mail from you, bring it with you on Opening Day, labeled with the camper's name and the day you would like it delivered and hand it to our Admin Lead.

  Sending Mail USPS:
  Camper Name
  c/o Redwood Camp
  Box 413
  Mount Hermon, CA 95041

  If you send mail, we suggest mailing it on Monday or Tuesday of your camper's week. Late arriving mail will be returned to sender.

• Check Out the Photos Online!

  See the week as it progresses!

  Photographers usually have time to upload the day's pictures each evening. 

  Something to take note of: there are no cell phones allowed at camp. So, if your camper would like to take their own pictures, they will need to bring an actual camera to make that happen.
