Dear Greeting,

We hope you and All camper first names are having a great week! The Ghostlight Team is hard at work getting ready for this summer and can't wait to see you in Maine in just a few months. From staff hiring to show planning, we're thrilled about all the exciting things ahead for Summer 2025.

See below for our 2025 Ghostlight Family Handbook, reminders about CampMeds and being a Ghostlight ambassador, and a spotlight on Zack Elkind! As the summer approaches, please continue letting us know what quesitons you have. We love hearing from you and All camper first names and are always available to chat.

📖 Family Handbook

Click below to access the 2025 Ghostlight Family Handbook. The Family Handbook contains important information for new and returning families. Please take time to read and review it with All camper first names to learn more about Ghostlight's history, values, and goals for the summer. The Family Handbook also includes information about summer communication, health and safety, and more. We'll share some highlights from the Family Handbook throughout the spring.

💊 Medication At Camp

Register by March 1 for the lowest rate

Please be sure to view the information about CampMeds, the required* service we use at Ghostlight to deliver medication in the safest and most efficient way. Please note that there are enrollment deadlines for CampMeds with corresponding fees. We recommend beginning the registration process as soon as possible and completing by March 1 for the lowest rate. This fee goes directly to CampMeds to cover packaging and shipping medications. Perscriptions are not required at the time of registration but must be submitted 30 days prior to the start of camp. 

*There are a small number of exceptions to this requirement; please review the linked PDF for details.

📣 Tell a Friend

Word of mouth is one of the best ways for new families to find out about Ghostlight. As an ambassador, not only do you get to help bring the joy of camp to new campers, but you also get a number of perks including a discount for 2026 and a swag bag waiting for your camper this summer.

Shoutout to Ghostlight ambassadors already bringing a friend to camp in 2025: Charlotte, Julia, Alice, Deah, Zoe, Marli, Arden, and Madeleine!

Know someone who might be interested in Ghostlight? Let us know so we can reach out! Please note that we currently have the best availability in Session 1, particularly for tiered pricing spaces.
