Packing List
Every child is provided with a wooden cubby by their bed. Some campers choose to use plastic drawers. These cannot be transported via the camp’s luggage service, but can be shipped to camp and then used by the camper when they unpack in their bunks.
All campers are allowed to bring two duffel bags to camp (wheeled luggage is suggested). Campers should pack the majority of their belongings in these two
duffels; they should not be packed in cardboard boxes.
Campers can bring one small carry-on piece of luggage with them the day they arrive (like something that can fit overhead in an airplane).
Pro-tip: ziploc bags are a great way to keep underwear, socks, kippot, and other small items organized in your duffel bags.
The determination of what is appropriate at camp is solely at the discretion of the camp staff, but there are a few standard rules for campers to follow. Clothes need to cover the midriff and underwear should not be visible outside of clothing. See-through or revealing tops or very short skirts are not allowed at camp. Girls are required to wear one-piece bathing suits and boys to wear boxer-style suits. Clothing with inappropriate wording or graphics are not allowed and campers will be sent back to their bunk to change.
Please note: Banquet is a highly-anticipated event at camp during the second session and campers are expected to dress up. When choosing clothing with your child/ren, please select items with the dress code in mind.
On Friday evening and Shabbat, pants (chinos, etc.) skirts, dresses or nice pants, collar (polo) or button shirts, nice shoes (or nice sandals)– NO JEANS Shabbat attire must cover the shoulders and midsection and be neat in appearance. Backless clothing, spaghetti straps and excessively short or tight clothing will not be allowed. Kippot must be worn on Shabbat, during tefillot and at meals.
Laundry is sent out once a week to an outside service. Clothes are washed, dried, folded and returned to each child in individual laundry bags (which they are given when they arrive to camp, with their names clearly labeled on the bag). If a child loses an article of clothing in the laundry, the laundry service will attempt to find it and, in some instances, a check will be sent from the laundry service for a lost item. In general, Camp Yavneh is not responsible for loss or theft personal belongings. When packing your child, don’t send anything to camp that you would be sad about losing.
It is essential that your child/ren brings sufficient clothing to camp (See packing list below). Campers change their clothes more frequently at camp than at home due to changing temperatures and the variety of activities. Every child receives two Camp Yavneh t-shirts on opening day. These t-shirts are worn on day trips, game days and picture day. Campers will have opportunities to purchase Yavneh Wear including Camp Yavneh hats, sweatshirts, kippahs, … etc. on opening day and during specific Kolbo store dates times – the store carries toiletries if a camper forgets or loses something. This will be charged to your child’s Kolbo account.
Packing List
This is a suggested packing list for all campers. Individual cubby space is limited, so please pack less rather than more. Every item your child brings to camp MUST be labeled with your child’s full name. Campers should pack the majority of their belongings in two duffels. Campers can bring one small carry-on piece of luggage with them the day they arrive (think something that can fit overhead in an airplane.) On Opening Day, if campers bring an additional large bag, they may be asked to consolidate it as we won’t have enough room in the bunk. Items in bold are available at Kolbo for replenishment. Pro Tip: Ziploc bags are great for organizing underwear, socks, toiletries, etc.
