Communicating with Campers

Please do not use the Mathcamp office phone, email, or fax to leave messages for individual students, except on arrival/departure weekends or in an absolute emergency. Instead, here are ways to contact your camper:

By email: Students will have daily access to a computer lab at Mount Holyoke and several computers in Prospect Hall, where they will be able to check their email. Students who bring their own laptops will also be able to log onto the MHC wireless network on campus.

By phone: Campers are permitted to bring cell phones. In 2010, we will not have landline phones available in the dorm rooms. For those campers not bringing cell phones to camp, we will have cell phones available to borrow (for up to an hour) at the Mathcamp office for calling home!

By mail: The postal address (campers love care packages!) will be:

   NAME OF RECIPIENT
   Canada/USA Mathcamp
   Mount Holyoke College
   50 College Street
   South Hadley, MA 01075

Please do not send mail to students after July 26 from outside the US, August 1 from within the US.

A NOTE TO PARENTS: We often get calls from parents who are concerned that their child has not called or emailed home in a while. Invariably, the student is simply very absorbed in camp activities-- there is always a lot going on at Mathcamp. Our staff members do issue periodic reminders for all campers to call home, but it is up to you to impress upon your son or daughter the importance of keeping in touch. Be sure to talk to them before they leave and to agree in advance on the best times and frequency for contacting you.
