Dresscode
Tznius is one of the foundations on which our camp stands. What the camper brings to camp in terms of clothing and personal property will need to reflect the camp vision. As we spend the summer together with your daughters all aspects of tznius, in Machshava, Dibbur & Maaseh will be enforced.

There will be a $150.00 minimum charge for the treatment of a child found with head lice. Please make sure to take care of this important issue in order to avoid unnecessary embarrassment for your child. Refer to the Health and Safety section for more about head lice.

Bunk Divisions
Bunking is important for the camp and campers alike. It is important for camp life and important to your daughters happiness.
When the bunks are divided, prior to the start of the session, this is what the camp will be looking at.
Cabin Mate Requests
Bunk Dynamics
Previous Experiences
Cabin mate requests are important so that your child feels she is comfortable with at least one camper in her bunk.
Part of making bunk divisions, is ensuring an even balance of campers. We strongly believe, that camp is a great time for children to make friends outside of their regular circle, therefore if there is a group of girls coming from one class many times this group will be divided.
Camp will need at least 3 cabinmate requests to honor at least one. All requests must be made at least 4 weeks prior to the start of the session. No requests will be honored after this time. No bunk switches will be made
If the camp has had a previous experience with particular campers being bunked together and the results were not optimal, we reserve the right to separate the would be campers even if it was their only cabin mate request
Should a parent make a request that their child not to be with a specific camper, camp will make every effort to honor the request. If we have difficulty with the request we will contact the parent to understand the nature of the request.
