CamperMail!© FAQ

Q.	What is CamperMail?
A.	CamperMail! is a web based email program which we developed to
	allow parents, other family members and friends to easily and
	quickly communicate with their camper while at Camp Westminster.

Q.	Do I have to have an email program to use CamperMail?
A.	No. CamperMail is strictly web based. The email program is 
	located on the 	server that also hosts our web page.

Q.	Does it cost extra to use this program?
A.	No. This is a service we wish to provide to you, and for your 
	convenience. 

Q.	Why should I use CamperMail instead of regular US Mail?
A.	CamperMail can be sent at anytime from anywhere in the world 
	where you have internet access. If you are suddenly called 
	out of town on business, but still want to send a note to 
	your child, CamperMail can be delivered the next day rather 
	than next week. Plus you can save the postage.

Q.	Does CamperMail allow attachments?
A.	No. CamperMail is text only. 

Q.	Is there a limit to the length of the messages?
A.	Technically - No. However, we would ask you to limit them to 
	no more than a single page and only one a day during our 
	evaluation period.

Q.	Can my child respond with email?
A.	No. Your CamperMail will be sent directly to Camp Westminster's 
	camp office. The Campers do NOT have access to the internet, these 
	messages are printed and distributed to them daily, so they will 
	not be replying by email.

Q.	Why do I need a UserID/Password?
A.	The security is there for the protection of the campers. We do 
	not want any emails, of which you are unaware, being sent to 
	your child. During our evaluation period, only messages that bear 
	the proper authorization code will be delivered. This is for your 
	child's protection. In the future, we may relax this policy if 
	conditions warrant, but the CamperMail area will continue to be 
	password protected.

Q.	What is the difference between the User ID and the 
	Authorization Code?
A.	The User ID and Password are required to access the CamperMail 
	section of the Camp Westminster web site. Everyone will use 
	the same User ID/Password during a particular session. The 
	Authorization Code will be your unique code for sending messages 
	to your camper once you are in the CamperMail section.

Q.	Who will have a password to the CamperMail section?
A.	Initially, the testing will be done during Junior 1 and offered 
	to a yet undetermined number of parents. If all goes well, then 
	all parents will be given a CamperMail packet at registration 
	time containing the User ID and Password for access the the CamperMail 
	section as well as a unique Authorization Code for their child.

Q.	Will the UserID / Password remain the same.
A.	No. The UserID / Password will change each session.

Q.	If I send two children to the same session will I have to have 
	multiple Authorization Codes?
A.	No. We can link the one code to both children.

Q.	If I send my child to multiple sessions will I keep the same 
	Authorization Code?
A.	Probably not. New Authorization Codes will be generated each 
	session. But there is a chance that the same Authorization Code 
	could be generated twice, but don't count on it.

Q.	Who will see the messages sent to my child?
A.	All messages are subject to being checked by authorized Camp 
	Westminster staff. This is to assure the proper delivery of 
	messages and, although they are not censored, inappropriate 
	material will not be delivered to the campers.

Q.	Why do you need my email address?
A.	Primarily, this is to help with verification of the sender. 
	Additionally, Camp Westminster may use these email addresses
	for marketing campaigns.

Q.	How do I know that my message has been sent properly?
A.	After you fill in all the required field and hit SEND, a
	"Successfully Sent" page will appear. 

Q.	What if I have other questions?
A.	Send them to me at webmaster@campwestminster.org
