Preparing For Camp

It'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.
