Opening Day Procedures 2010

Camp Yavneh will soon begin its 66th season with many exciting things on tap. We have exceptional head staff, specialists, scholars and great bunk counselors. The summer of 2010 will be one to remember! We want to make sure that opening day is a simple, non-stressed day, so read on!

OPENING DAY: Camp will open on Wednesday, June 30th, 2010. (Kerem/CIT: Sunday June 27 arrival: 4:00) Campers may arrive between 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. Campers beds are pre-assigned. Second session campers will receive arrival information in July; arrival time begins at approximately 3:00 pm on July 25th. Please enter through the back gate which is Lower Deerfield Rd. and you will receive clear instructions on how to proceed.

Our opening day procedures will be as follows:
1. Campers accounts must be fully paid up to receive their bunk assignment upon arrival at camp. – If your account is paid in full and we have all of your forms you will qualify for “EXPRESS CHECK IN” and can bypass the “pavilion office” at the back field where you enter camp.

2. For those of you that want to discuss any health issues with the nurses you can visit the health tent at check in. If your child has been exposed to a contagious disease or is not feeling well on opening day please keep the child home until the doctor gives permission to come to camp. We think you will agree that it is easier to keep the child home than to make the trip and be forced to return home.
All medications must be arranged through CampMeds. If you come to camp with medication that should have been sent through CampMeds you will be charged $100

3. After check in, you may walk your child to the bunk, help them unpack, meet with the counselors briefly and then leave. Rest assured, your child will be left in loving and caring hands!

4. At 11:00 AM on opening day we will conduct a tour of the camp for interested adults and non-camper children. We thought new families would like to see where their children will be spending the summer! This tour does not include campers; they will be shown around camp with their bunk. Listen for the announcement regarding the tour over the loud speaker. Second session newcomers will also have an opportunity to tour camp.

5. FOOD: Please do not bring food or bottled water of any kind to camp. We will confiscate any food packages. The campers are well fed at Yavneh!

6. As part of camp tuition, each child will receive 2 camp T-shirts on opening day; Kaytana will receive one. For security reasons campers will be required to wear camp t-shirts on trip days.

7. Camp clothing items will be available for purchase on opening day so…. Come visit our new and improved Kolbo (in the center of camp)!
