Visiting Day – July 20

We are excited to welcome families of FULL summer chanichim to visit their child(ren) at camp for the day on Sunday, July 20!

Family members can visit their camper/s at camp between noon and 6 pm (when the campers need to be back with their bunk).

We will offer lunch in camp for campers and visitors, and visitors will have the chance to tour camp, participate in some camp activities, and spend some special time with your child/ren. After the visit, campers will rejoin their ayda-mates and participate in special Intersession programming while preparing for the arrival of second session campers on Tuesday, July 22.

Please make sure you fill out the “Visiting Day Plans” form in your CampinTouch account so we can prepare for your visit! If you have any questions about visiting day, please reach out to us at info@campyavneh.org.

We are planning to stay in camp with our child(ren). What will there be for us to do?  We are excited for your child(ren) to show you around our camp, and to share some of the many things we love about it. Following lunch, you will have the opportunity to visit your child(ren)’s bunks, enjoy the Agam, Teva, Bishul, and more!
