WHAT YOUR CHILD NEEDS IN CAMP
Clothing: Clothes should be comfortable, washable andappropriate for camp activities (sandbox, sitting on the rug, art activities, field sports, etc.)
Sm ocks: Please send a smock (marked with your child'sname) that will protect their clothing to your satisfaction. A waterproof smock with sleeves is best. We use washable art materials whenever possible, but with or without smocks, expect your child's clothes to get dirty!
A complete change of clothing is to be kept in camp: Each item (including socks) should be marked withyour child's name. Please send a plastic shoebox size con-tainer, marked with your child's name, for storing clothes in camp.
Mark clothing: Clothing especially outerwear, should bemarked with your child's name.
For Toddlers: Toddlers not yet toilet trained should have asupply of diapers and wipes sufficient for several days in camp to be replenished as needed. We do not initiate toilet training, but we will support your efforts as much as possible. State regulations do not allow us to keep potties in camp; we will use stepping stools where needed.
For toddlers, swimming diapers: For hygienic reasonschildren who are not toilet trained must have a supply of swim diapers.
Tzedaka: We encourage the children to bring tzedaka(money for charity) every day. A penny or two is fine - the point is to develop a daily habit of sharing. It also helps chil-dren associate money with giving and doing a good deed.
Mitzvah notes: A Mitzvah Note is a narrative recognizingthe child's positive behavior and actions. To enhance the partnership between home and camp, we encourage families to write mitzvah notes. Teachers will often send blank notes in a variety of shapes with a particular classroom theme.
Camper’s Birthdays: If your child’s birthday falls on acamp day, please notify the Camp Director at least a week in advance so that we may help him/her celebrate this special day.
