Dear Parents,

 

Please review the list of items below and discuss what you feel is appropriate with your child.  We have prepared this list with the realization that many things do not apply to our campers, yet we wanted to be comprehensive and transparent regarding the expectations that we have at Camp Shtetl for everyone to have the best experience possible. As always, feel free to reach out with any questions.

 

Thank you,

Camp Shtetl Staff

  • Campers will be able to use the camp phone to call home in the evenings and on Friday afternoons.

  • Lifeguards and pool rules must be adhered to during water activities.

  • No destruction of property. Parents will be monetarily responsible for repairs.

  • Everyone will be involved with farm chores.

  • Laundry will be done in the evenings by the campers as needed. Detergent will be provided.

  • Any food brought by campers is expected to be Chalav and Pas Yisroel as it applies or it will

    unfortunately be discarded.

  • Canteen will be available daily.

  • No “dude wipes” or any other “wipes” should be brought to camp. We are on a septic system and

    these are not compatible.

  • If unfortunately a camper does not follow the rules listed above and therefore needs to go home,

    the parents will be responsible for making the necessary travel arrangements at their own expense.
