Email

Families may email to however, campers are not allowed to email.

Clothing

A suggested list of clothing and other suggested items to bring will be given out prior to the start of camp. Laundry is done every few days, so it is not necessary to bring lots of clothes. Past experience has taught that it is highly advisable to pack in one suitcase and bring an empty suitcase for purchased items and art work. Please keep in mind that airlines have very strict baggage allowance and extra weight is very costly. Bring less and plan for shopping at the mall.

Shopping

There will be a shopping expedition to one of the Santa Fe shopping malls. Shopping money is to be provided by each family. Each camper may bring up to $300 for personal shopping.

Activities

Activities may include hiking, swimming, shopping, visiting museums and, meals private homes and restaurants. For outdoor activities, please bring sunscreen, walking shoes, and a hat.

Dogs

There are dogs in most American homes. If you have a serious fear of dogs, it may be difficult for you to negotiate the campus or field trips. Please discuss this with Anael or Silvi during the application and interviewing process to judge if your participation is feasible.

Dental Needs

Please have a dental check-up several months before camp to make sure your dental needs are attended to. We have experienced many dental problems during camp, which takes the pleasure out of camp, results in loss of activity time, and is very expensive.

Household

As part of the camp experience of forming community and acquiring leadership skills, daily housekeeping chores will be assigned along with special times for cooking.

Environment

No smoking is allowed on the campus.

Personal Travel

Anyone wishing to visit family/friends before or after camp in the USA will need to make all their own arrangements, changes, and payments directly with the CFP travel agent in Israel. Please notify of any personal travel arrangements.
