Welcome to Camp Christopher

Mail

Campers love to hear from home during their week at camp!  Please note the following:

  • Up to three (3) parcels of mail per camper per week are welcome.
  • We distribute camper mail on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday after meals.
  • There are three easy ways to keep in touch with your camper: 
  1. Traditional mail:

Camper’s Name

Cabin Name <Not available until Sunday Registration>

Camp Christopher

P.O Box 267

Bath, OH 44210

**Do not send camper mail to the business office on Biruta Street

 

  1. Camper Mailbox:

Parents can drop off mail at Sunday Check In into a special Camper Mailbox.  Include your camper’s name, cabin, and which day you would like your mail delivered to the camper.  We recommend you leave your first letter at drop off.  Mail will be delivered on Monday.  Please note: only 3 parcels or less per camper! 

  1. Camper Email:

Please send your electronic communications to mailto:campermail@ccdocle.org.  Keep in mind that your camper cannot email you in return.  Emails must include Camper’s Name and Cabin for quick delivery.

OUTGOING MAIL

Campers may send letters home by dropping mail in the “Outgoing Mail” crate located in the Dining Hall.  Outgoing mail is delivered to the post office every day before lunch.
