The first few days of Camp are intentionally planned so cabinmates get to know each other and make friends quickly. Our Directors of Camper Life intentionally ensure that all cabins have a good mix of new and returning campers and counselors to help campers connect with each other. The number of campers assigned to the same cabin from the same town or friendship group is intentionally limited to encourage new friendships and discourage cliques. When parents fill out Camper Forms, there is a place to mutually request a cabinmate for your camper. All cabinmate requests must be fully submitted through the Camper Forms portal before May 1.
The Financial Assistance Application is made available to families interested in Camperships after their Camp application is submitted. Interested families can submit a Financial Assistance Interest Form before Camp applications are open. This ensures potential Campership families do not pay a full application fee.
All financial information provided remains confidential and is used solely to evaluate the application.
Applicants will need a copy of their most recent 1040 tax returns. A business/farm statement and corporate tax return/schedule C/schedule F may be required as well as needed.
To invite a friend or family member, click the three lines in the upper left hand corner of the app and select "Invite Family Members." Still having trouble? Watch this video for step-by-step instructions.
You can find letters home from your camper and their counselor, called Bunk Replies, and the opportunity to write letters to be delivered to your camper, called Bunk Notes, by clicking the envelope icon labeled "Notes" in the bottom right corner of your app.
Camp provides two Bunk Replies per week - one from your camper (excluding Starter Camp) and one from your camper's counselor - free of charge. While the app has an option to add additional Bunk Replies when sending a Bunk Note, Camp will not deliver these to your camper. Please do not add this option to your Bunk Notes.
Your account will be set up by Camp ahead of your child's session. Follow the instructions detailed above or wait for your camper's pre-arrival email for additional instructions. If an account is not found with your email, first verify that the email address is where you receive the monthly Parent Post. If your email is not found and your camper's session has not yet started, we may be in the process of creating your account - try again soon.
Once you're notified by email that your account is set up, make sure you are using the email address where you receive the monthly Parent Post and reset your password. If neither is working, please contact the Sea Gull & Seafarer office (252-249-1212) for assistance.
We have already created an account for you.
If you are new to Sea Gull and Seafarer or if you didn't have a camper attend in 2024, please use the email address where you receive your Parent Post. You will need to click the Forgot Password link to set a new password for your account. You only need to do this one time and will then be able to access your account using your email and your new password.
Your Bunk1 account has already been set up. Camp will send you an email with specific instructions about 2 - 3 weeks before your camper's session.
Follow these steps to gain access:
- Download the app from the iTunes Store or Google Play.
- Use the email Camp has on file (where you receive the Parent Post).
- Follow the instructions to reset your password or visit this link.
If you had a Bunk1 account in previous summers, you can use the same email and password to sign in again. You will see a 2024 Camp Sea Gull and Camp Seafarer toggle. You can switch back and forth from 2024 to previous summers. You will still have access to the previous summer's Bunk Notes and photos.
If your current/old account is under an email different from the one you see the monthly "Parent Post," please enter the email where you receive the Parent Post and reset your password to see this year's information. You will still be able to access photos from previous years by logging out and back in with your old account.
As a staff member, your child is responsible for downloading any pictures of themselves and sending them to you. Parents of staff members will not have access to the platform, as it is limited to staff members and parents of campers.
Sharing a space with 10 - 15 other people creates an environment where respecting privacy is paramount. Campers are not allowed to visit the inside of cabins other than their assigned cabin. Each camper has a bed and locker to keep personal belongings. All cabins have restrooms, sinks with mirrors and showers.
Camps have both communal and semi-private showers. We cannot guarantee a shower preference for campers.
