Camp hires a company to do laundry throughout the summer. Your son will need enough changes to last for eight days, as the laundry is done once a week. Your son’s counselors will assist in sorting the laundry by colors and whites. The laundry will be picked up and returned to the bunkhouse freshly cleaned the next day. Every item sent to camp should be properly labeled, as any unlabeled clothing cannot be sorted.
Please contact the camp office, and they will forward your request to your son’s head staff, who will do their best to get back to you as soon as possible.
While we understand that parents may have requests or concerns, please keep in mind that the top priority of our head staff is ensuring that your son is having a safe and enjoyable time in camp. Our dedicated head staff will make every effort to respond to your inquiries, but kindly allow a few days for a response. In the event of an urgent matter or if you have not received a timely response from the head staff, we kindly request that you contact the camp office. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
Camp is a place for boys to feel equal to their peers, with everyone living in the same bunkhouses and enjoying the same activities. Since we do not have trips to the store, they can enjoy and be happy with what they have in the present moment.
To promote this healthy environment, we do not accept packages in camp, including Amazon, Walmart, and Instacart deliveries, and packages that arrive at camp will not be given out.
In addition to our nutritious meals, camp has a fully stocked canteen which your son can order from every day.
If you would like to arrange private tutoring for your son, please contact the camp office, and they will forward your request to your son’s head staff, who will do their best to assist you in finding the right staff member to hire as your son’s tutor. Please note that there is no guarantee that tutoring can be arranged. In addition, please bear in mind that tutoring will not occur during regular learning classes but rather during night activities or on Shabbos. We strongly recommend not relying on camp time for Bar Mitzvah learning, as the boys are busy during the day. To avoid a stress-free experience for you and your son, we recommend preparing your son before sending him to camp.
Camp has designated visiting days, during which parents are encouraged to come and visit their children. For safety reasons, any unauthorized visitors will be turned away on days not designated for visiting. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
If a parent plans on coming for visiting day, it is best to give the tip directly while expressing appreciation to the staff members involved. In addition, the camp office will send out an email with your son’s staff payment information so you can send tips directly to them. Tipping suggestions per session are for each Counselor $50, the Learning teacher $45, and the Waiter $40.
