Policy and Guidelines

  • Since the camp is intended to be a developmental and independent experience for campers, we discourage incoming and outgoing camper calls. This does not apply in case of emergency. If we think a call to or from home will enhance the experience of a camper, we will certainly not hesitate to use this avenue. For calls concerning applications and financial matters, dial: (413) 739-7211 Ext. 102. Leave a voice mail and a staff member will return your call. Non-business calls while camp is in session dial: (508) 867-6916.

  • During July and August all camper mail should be sent to Camp Atwater, 20 Shore Road, North Brookfield, MA 01535. Prior to June 28 and after July 25 all mail should be properly addressed to Camp Atwater c/o Urban League of Springfield, Inc., One Federal Street, Building 111-3, Springfield, MA 01105.

  • Sundays are designated as Visitors’ Day between the hours of 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. All visitors must register at the campus office. Campers will not be permitted to leave the camp grounds with any visitor(s) without written or telephone approval from a parent or guardian.

  • Luggage should be limited as much as possible. Parents are responsible for making arrangements for luggage to and from the camp. Parents should identify specific carriers for luggage, and arrangements must be made and pre-paid prior to delivery or pick-up. Please address luggage to campers c/o Camp Atwater, 20 Shore Road, North Brookfield, Massachusetts 01535 and notify the camp office.
