FORMAN3D CARDS — CAMP MAIL
Plan and send a postcard to your child at summer camp.
Choose a camp design or upload your own photo, add a short message, and enter the camp mailing address. We print the finished 4 × 6 postcard, add First-Class postage, and mail it to camp.
Send early. Camp mail is slow and timing is not guaranteed. For a short session, the safest plan is usually to order before your camper leaves home.

Recipient mailing address
Enter your camper's name, the camp's name, and its U.S. mailing address. Add the camp routing — area or sub-camp, campsite, week, and troop/community if needed — in the routing fields below. The routing prints on its own line so camp staff can sort the mail; the street, city, and ZIP are what the post office verifies.
Camp routing optional — enter exactly what your troop or camp provided
PostGrid standardizes the street, city, state, and ZIP. The camp routing prints on its own line below the street for the camp to sort.
Camp mail timing planner optional
Add your camper's dates to estimate the safest order window. This is a planning guide only, not a delivery guarantee.
Add camp dates to see a conservative order window. Printing, USPS transit, and camp mailroom sorting are not guaranteed.
Camp mail without finding a card, stamp, or mailbox
Parents, grandparents, relatives, and friends can create a real postcard from a phone or computer. Choose a camp design or upload a photo, write the message, and Forman3D handles the physical mailing.
Included for $3.95
- One full-color 4 × 6 postcard
- Your design or uploaded photo
- First-Class postage and U.S. mailing

How to address camp mail
Follow the camp's own instructions. A typical address looks like:
Camper full nameCamp name
Cabin, bunk, unit, or session
Street address
City, ST ZIP
Put the cabin, bunk, unit, or session on the second address line when the camp requests it.
Give the postcard time to arrive
For the best chance of arriving during camp, plan around 14-16 calendar days before the card should be handed out. That window accounts for printing, First-Class Mail transit, and the camp's own mail sorting.
Short session? Order before camp begins. This is not a last-minute service, and delivery dates are estimates, not guarantees.
Sending to a specific camp?
Some camps have particular addressing instructions. These guides show the published mailing address and what to write so mail reaches your camper.
Summer camp postcard FAQ
When should I order a postcard for summer camp?
For the best chance of arriving during camp, order about 14-16 calendar days before you want the card handed out. For a one-week session, that usually means ordering before camp starts. Printing, First-Class Mail transit, and camp mailroom distribution times vary, so delivery by a specific date is not guaranteed.
Will it arrive before my camper leaves?
We cannot guarantee arrival by a specific date. You know your camper's schedule best; compare the remaining time with the timing planner and the 14-16 day planning window before ordering.
Is this suitable for a one-week camp session?
A one-week session leaves little room for printing, postal transit, and camp sorting. Ordering before camp begins gives the postcard the most time to arrive.
Is this good for last-minute camp mail?
No. This is not a last-minute service. If your camper is already at a short session, a postcard may not arrive before they leave. Use the timing planner before checkout and order only if the timing still makes sense.
How should I format the camp mailing address?
Use the camper's full name, the camp name, street address, and city, state, and ZIP. Add a cabin, bunk, unit, or session on the second address line when the camp requests it.
Can I order before my child arrives at camp?
Yes. Ordering before arrival can be useful for short sessions. Confirm that the camp accepts early mail and include any session or cabin details it requires.
Does the camp need a cabin, bunk, unit, or session name?
Requirements vary by camp. Check the camp's parent guide or website and place the requested cabin, bunk, unit, or session information on address line two.
Can I track the postcard?
No. Standard First-Class postcards do not include end-to-end delivery tracking. Forman3D records when the postcard is submitted for printing and mailing.
What happens if the camp distributes mail slowly?
Camp mailrooms control final sorting and distribution after USPS delivery. That extra handling time is outside Forman3D's control and is part of why we recommend ordering early.
