Preparing For CampIt's very important to send an ample supply of prescribed medications with detailed instructions for their dosage and use. Children will require inexpensive clothing, shoes, toiletries, jackets, etc. Transportation to and from the New York City office to camp is provided free. We'll send you the schedule. For those parents driving their child to camp, detailed directions are provided. Don't forget to give your child plenty of stationery and cards to write home! Stamps, too. While phone calls and visits are discouraged - remember, kids love to get mail. A camp canteen offers candy, soft drinks, disposable camera, film, stamps and toiletries. You may want to give your child a few dollars for each day at camp. We'll open an account for them on arrival. A Special Dance is held each week. Your child may want to bring along some fun, inexpensive "dress-up" clothes. Suggested Clothing and Equipment List for One SessionIf your child is staying longer, please add on as necessary.
We are not responsible for lost or torn clothing or personal property. However, we will make every effort to locate same. Marking or labeling is suggested, it helps us to identify found articles. If anything of value is left behind, write or call us as soon as possible. Camp is a great place to wear out your old clothes such as jeans, sweatshirts or shorts. We do not require any special uniforms or equipment. Desirable, but not necessary:
Please leave your cellphone home. Also, your boom boxes, electronic games and radios etc. at home. Expensive clothing or jewelry is not needed. |
