  • One letter should come from the camper and another from the guardian. 
  • The letter should address:
    • Highlights:  What the camper enjoyed most about camp;
    • Growth: How the camper grew in his/her relationship to God, application of Christian Science, and Christian character. 
    • Gratitude: Any special message you want to convey to the donors and any ways you are living your gratitude in through your actions at home, church, and school.
