ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE
IMPORTANT – Trainees attending their assigned session should make every attempt to arrive on the
designated Sunday between 1:00 PM and 4:30 PM. (Do not arrive before 1:00 PM as the camp staff will not be available for check-in before that.) Departure or check-out from
Legionville is scheduled from 2:30 until 4:00 PM on Friday. Parents, guardians, sponsors, drivers, etc. are encouraged to come to Legionville on Friday afternoon for our camp graduation
ceremony at 2:00 PM. Following the ceremony, trainees will be free to check out with you to return home. For this or any other concerns regarding arrival or departure, please feel free to
call Legionville at 218/829-3094. It must be emphasized that all campers must check out in the office before leaving Legionville at the end of the week.
GENERAL
Legionville is open to all children regardless of race, color or national origin. Over $1,100,000.00
has been invested in Legionville by The Minnesota American Legion.
Visitors are welcome to visit our beautiful campus. However, we ask that all visitors stop by the
administrative office and let us know you are there. Meals cannot be served to guests, but they may bring a picnic lunch and eat at tables provided on the grounds.
TRANSPORTATION
The sponsor is responsible for coordinating transportation of trainees to and from Legionville. This
is not included in the registration fee. Please provide that the trainee be taken directly to Legionville.
Sponsors
and parents are encouraged to double check the means of transportation to be used in returning the youngsters from Legionville.
Past experience has shown that in some instances youngsters are stranded at Legionville because of confusion in the pick-up arrangements. This can be a real problem for the student, especially after a week at camp. We suggest that communities pool transportation with other communities in their area.
INSURANCE
The sponsor is responsible for sufficient liability or insurance to cover possible accidents resulting in
bodily injury or property damage while traveling to and from Legionville. The Legionville School Safety Patrol Training Center, Inc. assumes the cost, to a maximum of $2,000.00, for any medical
expenses arising out of accidental injury incurred while at the Center, not covered by other insurance.
HEALTH AND MEDICAL
A Health History is required of each student by a Parent/Guardian as part of the registration
process. The white registration card with the campers health history and family health insurance information should be completed and sent in prior to the campers arrival at Legionville.
Each camper is required to have had a physical within 3 months of arriving at camp.
While at Legionville, competent medical service is available for emergencies which might occur. Every precaution is taken to avoid accidents and prevent illnesses. All state health standards are met or exceeded.
MAIL AND TELEPHONE
Telephone calls of an emergency nature can be placed to Legionville during any hour of any day or night by
calling 218/829-3094. Due to the number of campers attending Legionville each week and our business use of the telephone, we cannot
allow campers to use the telephone at their convenience. Parents are asked to encourage their son/daughter to write postcards or letters as an alternative. Experience has shown that well
meaning phone calls from parents tend to encourage homesickness and make the week more difficult for the camper.
"Mail Call" is always a very important part of the camper's day. We encourage you to
mail cards and letters to your child. Don't forget your patrol member just because he/she is at camp. Letters to students or staff should have the following address:
Name c/o Legionville Camp 9544 Legionville Road
Brainerd, Minnesota 56401
E-mail can be sent to campers at campers@legionville.org and MUST be limited to 1 email per day. These will be printed out and
handed out with the regular mail received for campers. Make sure that the campers name and cabin number (if known) are included in the subject line of the email. Campers do NOT have access to the computer and can
NOT reply to email messages. No electronic greeting cards will be accepted.
Every assistance is given to those youngsters who may wish to attend church services. When desired,
staff drivers will take trainees to the church of their faith in Brainerd and return them to Legionville.
There are no additional charges at Legionville, but there is a Canteen with the usual items of candy,
souvenirs, cards, stamps, sweatshirts, and T-shirts for sale -- so trainees may bring spending money, which may be checked in for safekeeping at the Administration Office.
Each camper will be given our weekly newspaper, "The Legionville Bugle" when they check
out. This publication will highlight the weekly events and serve as a great souvenir from Legionville.
