into the office. The page on our website with all our forms is:

http://www.longlakecamp.com/forms-applications/ Any forms mentioned below can be found there.

ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE All details about dates/times are arranged by session on the PDF “2017

Arrival and Departure Options.” Be sure to look up the details on that sheet before making your travel

plans. If you wish to use our chartered bus up to camp, keep in mind that: THERE ARE NO CHARTERED

BUSES RETURNING HOME. THE FINAL DAYS OF CAMP ARE VISITORS’ WEEKENDS FILLED WITH ACCOMPLISHMENTS, WHICH YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY ATTEND. We know that for some of our campers who fly to us that this is not possible – don’t worry – we’ll make your camper feel special!

VISITORS’ WEEKEND. For the First Three-Week Session, it begins on Saturday, July 15 at 9:30 a.m.

and ends on Sunday, July 16 at 3:00 p.m. More details will be sent in our July letter. All times are exact

First Session the fly home date is July 17 and for the Second Session it is August 7. For the Third

need to open your car doors!

LUGGAGE You can bring one duffel bag or suitcase to the buses. Musical instruments, tennis racquet,

sleeping bag, etc. can be carried onto the bus. NO TRUNKS CAN BE TAKEN. We recommend for

your comfort and convenience having UPS pick up your camper’s duffel bag at your door.

Average cost is $60 and cross-country delivery takes only 3-5 days. Please visit: UPS.com

or call 1-800-PICK-UPS. UPS Mailing Address: Long Lake Camp (Your child’s name),

CAMPER, 83 Long Lake Camp Way, Long Lake, NY 12847. Make your life easy!

MEDICAL The medical forms must be filled out accurately and completely. The N.Y.S. Health

Department requires immunizations and the dates to be noted. This, of course, is for your child's

protection. If your child is undergoing any special medical or therapeutic treatment it is essential that

we are notified. Please note all the details on the medical form and Parent Questionnaire. The Doctor’s

Standing Orders form must be filled out by a parent and your family doctor. This is a mandatory form

and is for each camper’s safety and protection. Long Lake Camp must also have a copy of the front and

back of every camper’s medical insurance card. Camp Meds is mandatory for America campers.

CLOTHING And FOOD. A suggested one week’s Packing List is online. Long Lake Camp is not a dress-

up camp; functional clothing is practical and desirable. You can mark clothing with initials using an

indelible laundry marker if desired, much easier than name tags. We also have an 2017 Apparel order

form online. Please do not mail any food or drink to camp, we will not give food to your children we have not prepared ourselves.

LINEN SERVICE For your convenience we do have a linen service which will supply all the necessary

linen items mentioned on the clothing list. Campers still need to bring a lightweight sleeping bag for

overnight camping, a beach towel, and washcloth/face cloths if desired. The service fee will be $60 for

an entire 3- or 6-week stay. You can choose this option on the final invoice which we will send in April.

This includes sheets, blankets, pillow cases, (pillows included with camp) and towel. This is separate

from laundry. We do laundry for campers at no additional cost.

HORSES Long Lake has an excellent English riding program. We own the horses and they are on

camp property. Instruction includes walking, trotting, cantering, jumping, posting and trail rides. This

is the only activity for which there is an additional charge. You can select this on final invoice which we

will send in April. WE SUPPLY HELMETS. Campers must have over-the-ankle boots with a cutaway

heel (so that the boot sits securely in the stirrup).

CELL PHONES AND CALLING CARDS Cell phones are not allowed to be used for calling or internet

services while on camp. Please send your camper with a calling card for making calls. If your camper

is flying, it is a good idea to pack the phone so they can call you when they arrive. We ask all campers

to keep their phones on airplane mode during camp and to use them for music and pictures only. Cell

phones can be easily damaged and lost and they cost $500 to replace. We will not replace lost or

damaged phones.

PARENT & CAMPER QUESTIONNAIRE Please take the time now to fill out both sides of the

questionnaire and return to us soon. The information will greatly help us to fulfill both your wishes

and goals for the summer program as well as your child’s.

YEARBOOKS & SHOW VIDEOS For campers in the first two sessions, a yearbook will be mailed to

the home address on file. For campers in third session, they will be given a yearbook before they leave

camp. Show videos will be available to purchase in September when we mail the video order forms.

Before January 1st 2017 or as soon as you can, please complete and return these forms and send to our

winter address in Dobbs Ferry.

second counts. Please only call us during the summer.

Calling cards - Please purchase calling cards for your children to bring to camp, as it makes the whole process far

less stressful for your children if they know coming to camp they can contact you easily. Of course if there is an

card or not.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Doctor’s Standing Orders/Medical History Form - Please insure you have sent these forms to us before the

beginning of camp; without them we cannot administer any medication at all to your child.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shy Campers - Long Lake offers our campers a tremendous number of opportunities, which can be overwhelming. If

your child is shy please encourage them to speak up and tell us if there is anything we can do to help. Our Unit

Leaders excel at helping campers if they tell us what they need or if there are any problems. When talking to your

child’s Unit Leader please tell them of any concerns regarding your child participating or that your child may appear

happy and busy but may need to be motivated further to take full advantage of everything. We want every camper to

have the best summer of their life but we cannot achieve this without your help and your child’s willingness to speak

up. We need both you and your child to fully commit to the summer, trying new activities, making friends and telling

us if there is anything your child or you do not like, or are not getting. Summer camp is a great place to develop

confidence and self-advocacy, especially for our younger campers.
