Frequently Asked Questions 1. How Can I Prepare My Child For Overnight Camp?
Write often! Send your son a letter before he leaves to camp so there will be mail awaiting him. An overnight away from home at a grandparent’s or friend’s home can be a helpful experience for the child who has never slept away from home.
2. Who Helps My Son If He Has A Problem?
Upon arrival at camp there is a camper orientation. Everyone is taken on a tour of the campus and all building locations are pointed out e.g. Office, Dining Room, Shul, Gym, Special Activities Bldg, etc. All staff members are introduced and campers are told who they can approach if they need help e.g. Head Counselor, Nurse, Camp Mom, etc.

Campers’ laundry is done once a week, or as needed. 4. Are Visitors Allowed?

Clothing List
The following is a suggested clothing list for your child’s stay at camp. We recommend you refrain from sending excessive amounts of clothing, or outfits requiring special care. Laundry service is provided at no additional fee. It is of utmost importance that every article brought to camp be labeled. It is preferable to sew on labels; iron-on labels fall off in the wash and laundry marking inks tend to fade. We recommend you securely attach a copy of this list to your child’s luggage, so he will have a list of all items brought to camp.
Please Note: For those children with any nighttime problems, extra sheets and blankets should be sent along.
