Frequently Asked Questions
How do I determine the correct session length for my camper?
We are here to answer your questions and help you find the right session(s) for your camper. Please reach out to any member of our year-round team or to Enrollment Associate Margalit Segal.
My campers made great new friends last summer. How can I be sure they will be with their friends again?
As in past summers, campers can complete a cabin request form. We guarantee that your campers will be in a cabin with at least one of their requested friends.
Can campers extend their session once at camp?
Yes! Campers can extend to a longer session, based on availability. For example, a Kochavim camper in camp for a 2-week session can extend to the 4-week session for even more Ramah fun.
