Swimming*
We will be swimming at Haddontowne Swim Clubs weather permitting.
On all swim days please send with your child a bag with a clearly labeled towel, swimsuit, water shoes and sunscreen for reapplication. It is the responsibility of the parent or guardian to apply sunscreen on your child in the mornings before camp.
Please refer to the camp calendars as there are some date changes regarding swimming.

Trips
Kiddy Camp (3-5 year old's) will not be going on trips this summer.
Juniors and Pioneers will be going on carefully chosen outdoor trips, such as hiking, berry picking etc. where we will either be alone or easy to maintain distance from other groups.
There will be no Pioneer Overnights this year, however we are planning two late nights at Six Flags and Cape May.
We will be traveling by T&L Bus Service on all of our trips. On all trip days campers must wear their Camp Gan Israel t-shirt which they will receive on their first day of camp. Additional t-shirts can be purchased for $12.
Trip days are subject to change due to weather conditions.
