Modesty in dress, speech and behavior are the hallmark of Jewish children and adults. Campers attending Gan Yisroel West will be encouraged to make this their goal. Parents are responsible to inform their children attending Gan Yisroel West of the following rules.
- A camper who creates an unsafe environment or jeopardizes the safety of other campers is deemed unsuitable for camp and will be subject to being sent home at the parent’s expense.
- Campers must follow all instruction and direction by staff. Behavior that is detrimental to our staff and other campers will not be tolerated. Bullying at any level is unacceptable and will be addressed by staff. Children can be sent home if the director deems their behavior unacceptable.
- While in camp, each one of us is a Dugma Chaya in all matters of behavior, dress and speech. You must be mindful of everything you do, say, and wear. We will not tolerate any type of speech or conversations that are not Tznius. PLEASE NOTE: A camper or staff member discussing inappropriate matters may be asked to leave camp.
Please be certain to take your child for a medical check-up and have their medical forms completed as no child will be admitted to camp without a completed and signed form in our possession before camp begins. Children who do not have a completed medical form on file can expect to be sent home at parent’s expense.
If your child will be bringing any prescription medication, it must be sent in the original prescription bottle, labeled with the correct dosage, times to be administered and Dr’s name. All medication must be turned in to the office on arrival to camp.
Please do not send any over the counter medication with your child. It will need to be turned in to the infirmary and returned at the end of camp. Our infirmary is well stocked with over the counter medication, ie; Tylenol, Motrin, cold medication and the like and it will be administered as needed by our medical personnel.
We make every effort to provide your child with a pleasant, clean and safe environment. Damage of camp property due to abuse ruins this effort and will not be tolerated. Please note, that campers, that deliberately damage or abuse camp property will be dismissed from camp without a refund of tuition.
There will be a Bus leaving from the Los Angeles area for local campers. Exact information will be sent out about a week before the beginning of camp.
