Curbside Morning Drop-off NEW! for Kehila, Ruach and Kef (9:00-9:10 am) Tuesday through Friday starting June 24.

Attention parents! New this year we will be offering a faster and simpler morning drop off option for our Kehila, Ruach and Kef aged campers.

Mondays you will be required to walk your camper in and check in with their counselors. However Tuesday through Friday you will have two options. Option one: drop your camper off from your car to our eagerly awaiting counselors curbside who will escort them to their camp group on the green. Option two: park your car and walk them in. Either way we will greet your campers with a smile by name!
