Camp is not responsible for lost items, so leave small, unneeded, or complex valuables (jewelry, ipods, etc.) at home! And please be prepared to have a few minor garments (T-shirts, socks, etc.) not arrive back home after a busy active summer.
Dress code? The dress code for each girl depends on her background. We ask that campers maintain the dress code required in their Jewish school or home. On Shabbos, girls should wear modest shabbos dress.
Please mark all clothes, swim gear, accessories, etc. sent to camp with your daughter’s name using a permanent marker or name tag to avoid loss.. The camp is not responsible for items lost or damaged during camp, but will do our best to locate them. We strongly urge you not to send expensive items to camp.
Does your child take medication? If so, make sure it is given to a counselor immediately. All medication - even vitamins - must be stored in the camp's health room where it is available before and after meals and at bed-time.
Does your child wear eye-glasses? If this is the case, please pack a second pair just in case.
Does your child wear an orthodontic retainer? Please talk to her now about caring for it as part of the camp routine and not losing it.
