Campers reconnect with nature and disconnect from smartphones, social media, video games, and other technology by leaving their devices at home.<\/p>\n<p>We understand families appreciate the reassurance of seeing their smiling camper having a wonderful summer. Unfortunately, we have learned from experience it is not possible to provide quality photos of every camper, every day, and that the camera\u2019s constant presence during daily activities interferes with the spirit of simple living in a disconnected community.<\/p>\n<p>As always, we seek to find balance between documenting the campers\u2019 experiences and honoring the technology-free life we so carefully build as a community each summer.<\/p>\n<p>We offer free, password-protected access to photos taken at camp. <strong>Families will receive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ayf.smugmug.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SmugMug<\/a> login information via email once their camper\u2019s session begins<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>In-camp photos will be uploaded to the camp SmugMug each Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Due to the remote settings of these experiences, Four Trails trip leaders\u2019 primary focus is camper safety and well-being. They cannot provide regular, detailed, or real-time photographs. <strong>Photos from Four Trails trips will be available online 48 hours after groups have returned to camp.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Families are encouraged to keep in touch with their camper via mailed letters, one-way emails, and care packages, and to follow regular updates on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/camp_miniwanca\/\">Miniwanca Instagram<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/merrowvista\">Merrowvista Instagram.<\/a>\u00a0We appreciate your understanding and support for this important, mission-driven approach to our photo policy.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AYF summer camp Onsite photo policySummers at Miniwanca and Merrowvista provide a rare opportunity for youth in our care to slow down, live simply, and experience community in beautiful, outdoor settings.
