campers when you arrive at camp.
For example: You have 30 campers/sponsors preregistered ($50 deposit paid for
each). You feel confident that 25 of those will be at camp, so you pay for those
campers at the discounted rate of $185 each by May 1. Youʼre not sure about
the remaining 5 campers, so you pay for those campers at the full rate of $200
each when you arrive at camp.

at departure.

Stay in touch this summer with Online Photos & Camper Email!
We are excited to tell you about our partnership with Bunk1.com! Bunk1’s secure, easy to use website
services let you stay in touch with your camper all summer!
Returning Parents: If you had an account at this camp last summer, you can continue to use your old username and
password. Simply sign in at the link below. The first time you visit the site, you will be prompted to update your contact
information and re-activate your account.
Let’s Get Started!
To set up a new account and visit our Online Community:
1. Go to our website at www.lathamsprings.com
2. Click the flashing “Camp Photos / Camper Email” button.*
3. Click “Register Now”
4. Enter your Pre-Approved Registration Code
(This will be communicated to Camp Directors in the spring who will distribute the information to parents).
5. Fill out all the required information
6. Purchase Bunk Note credits (you will need a credit card)
7. View camper pictures and send an email to your camper!
** For your camper’s safety, please do not share the Pre-Approved Registration code.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do I view pictures?
Follow the instructions above except, after registering, simply sign in and click on the Photo Gallery button. Photos are kept in
folders found on the left side of the page below the words “Image Folders”. Click on any folder to see the pictures within that
folder. You can even purchase prints or other photo gifts (e.g., t-shirts, mugs) of your favorite pictures! There is no cost to view
pictures.
How do I send a Bunk Note (one-way email) to my camper?
Follow the instructions above except, after registering, simply sign in and click on the Bunk Notes button. Enter your camper’s
name, select the correct cabin, type your message, and hit the “Send” button. **Because there will be 400-900 campers in
attendance each week, please type the name of the camp session AND the church name in the subject or in the beginning of your
message. This will help ensure that your email makes it into the correct hands to be distributed.
When will my camper receive their email?
When you send an email, the message will appear in the camp office’s email at midnight the day it was sent. The camp office will
print the messages, and give them to the camp director to be distributed to the campers. PLEASE NOTE: If you send a message for
your camper on their last day of camp before they depart, they will not receive it. Again, this is because the message does not
appear for print until midnight the day the message is sent.
Can other relatives use these services?
Certainly. Once you have set up your account, you will be able to invite other people to access these services.
Why do I have to pay to send Bunk Notes (one-way email)?
Each morning, the Bunk Notes system bundles and sorts the messages for us to print out and distribute to campers. It also protects
us from computer viruses and allows us to easily manage these emails. Your payment helps to cover the cost of the system, paper,
ink, and labor and, more importantly, frees us to do what we do best – be with your kids! Bunk Note credits cost $1 each and are
purchased in packs of various sizes.
What do I do if I lost my username and password?
You can get it online by going to www.Bunk1.com and clicking on the link “Lost Your Password?” (to the left of the page below the
sign in button). You will receive an email with your username and password within a few minutes.
