Tip
Keep your E- Mails fun, happy and good shmooze. Girls in camp are especially sensitive and any news that may cause panic to your daughter may cause her to tear up and feel anxious. EG- Someone is in the hospital, or a sibling hurt themselves may cause them to wonder and feel anxious about the situation. Specifically if they cannot call home.

Campers
Campers have an opportunity to speak home 1 time a week starting from the first Sunday at camp. These calls are limited to 10 minutes and are there just for you to hear your daughter’s voice. A short Hi , How are you, Missing you so much and I’m having a ball is the purpose of this call. This call is to put you at ease, and to know that your daughter is doing okay. Below you will find a phone schedule.
How do campers call home?
In order to facilitate, easier calling for the campers on their calling day, camp has purchased 6 cell phones. These phones only make outgoing calls and will be available to your daughter on her calling day.
Some things to be aware of:
- Campers are limited to a maximum of 9 minutes for calls.
- When the camp is out on a trip, and it is your daughter’s phone day- most likely she will call the next day. We do try to remember to send an e-mail to the parents stating that they are on a trip but that is not always the case.
- If you miss your daughter’s call she will call the next day during rest hour
- Campers are not forced to call home. Many camper’s prefer not to call home to alleviate homesickness that they may feel if they do. Please do not force your daughter to the phone. Most likely she is doing perfectly fine and having too much fun to call.
- Should you have a concern after your call, please contact us via e-mail (preferable) and we will be glad to address those concerns

Bas mitzvahs
Although regular birthdays are celebrated with much excitement, obviously a bas mitzvah girl has an added achrayus.
Therefore her birthday will be celebrated too in an even greater manner. In addition to the above, here are some things that parents have done to make their daughters day special.
As a parent you do not have to do any of the below however if you would like to enhance her special day, by all means you are welcome to do so:
- Order extra nosh for a farbrengen (camp will usually provide some chips and soda)
- An arts and crafts project that you would like her bunk to do with her. It is best to send the supplies with your daughter before the start of camp.
- Ask a speaker from Montreal to come and address the girls
- Join her farbrengen (parents and girls only)
- Have another idea? We will be happy to hear.
The Ruchnius director will be in touch closer to the day of the Bas Mitzvah. Please call camp to speak and discuss with her the details of your daughters farbrengen.
