Keeping campers and parents connected with camper mail

Camper mail is now available in Campfront under the Campers area, giving you a dedicated space to manage parent-to-camper letters and camper replies directly within the platform. There are no Campfront fees to camps or parents to use it, and you have full control over usage through frequency limits and visibility restrictions.

Composing and sending letters

Parents can view and compose letters from their account area, select one or more of their campers, and optionally attach a photo. If you've set a frequency limit, parents will see how many letters they have remaining before composing.

Admin printing and delivery workflow

From the inbound tab, you can filter and batch print pending letters as a PDF, as well as optionally mark them as delivered. Status updates are reflected in the parent's view so they can track progress.

Camper replies

When camper replies is enabled, each printed letter includes a reply page campers can write on by hand. Upload scans individually, in bulk, or via a dedicated inbound email address. Campfront automatically matches replies to the original letter, and parents are notified when a reply is ready to view.


Configuration and controls are managed in camper mail settings, giving you flexibility over how camper mail works at your camp:

  • Enable or disable camper mail at any time. Switched off by default until you choose to enable it.

  • Camper replies can be turned on or off depending on whether you want to support outbound replies or keep camper mail as inbound only.

  • Frequency limits to cap letters per camper per day or week, configurable per parent or per family.

  • Allow Image uploads to be provided by parents in their e-letters.

  • Cut-off and delivery information for custom parent facing messages such as print schedules.

  • Visibility restrictions to limit camper mail to specific sessions, session groups, or camper groups.
