| Mail call will be held during Afternoon Camp Rallies. Below is the address for parents & friends to write letters (please advise them that they should mail the letter no later than Monday in order to receive the mail at camp) Name of Camper Name of Church Girls Mission Camp Texas Baptist Encampment P.O. Box 1265 Palacios, TX 77465 Phone Number: 361-972-2939 In case of bad weather, girls may spend extra time in their dorms. Be prepared with games, etc. for this time. Most rotations will be large. You are required to attend rotations with your girls. Please be available to help the rotation leaders and jump in where needed. This is especially important with the 1st and 2nd graders. Make sure all girls attend all activities. The only reason for not attending is illness, in which case they should immediately see a nurse. Be aware of the location of your campers at all times. Remember that the encampment is an open campus. Although girls are not allowed to leave the campus at any time, Palacios residents do walk along the seawall at all times of the day and night. You are responsible for seeing that your girls are in the proper classes, and that they abide by the camp rules and conduct themselves in a proper Christian manner. But please do not hesitate to correct other girls, especially if they are not with a counselor. We all need to act as good examples and lead all of the girls in the right path. Girls should be responsible for cleaning the dorm each day. This can be done by assigning duties to each church in the room on a rotation system. All dorms must be checked by TBE staff before leaving on Friday. Please limit the calls home to Free Time only. It is good to discourage this altogether due to homesickness. A good idea for those girls who insist on calling home is to wait until right before their afternoon rotation begin. Let girls prepare for the afternoon by putting on their swimsuits and then allow them to call home. When their minds are occupied with the thought of swimming, etc. they are less likely to become homesick. A nurse is available 24 hours a day for necessary treatment. A counselor must accompany the girls to the nurse. Please understand that the nurse is here to hand out necessary medication and for emergency care. All counselors in the dorm (or in camp) should feel responsible for all other girls in the dorm (or at camp). Dress code is the same for counselors as it is for the girls. Please set a good example and dress properly. Helpful Items for counselors to bring: Flashlight Band-aids Needle, Thread, Scissors Alarm Clock Extra Sheets, Towels, Toiletries (One of your girls always forgets to pack these things) |
