The suggested amount is $100 per session that a camper will be at camp, and $400 for Madatz. Parents should feel free to contribute what they wish. this amount is also included in the total fees, but payments may be made by separate check to Camp Na’aleh - "Kupa" should be written in the lower left-hand corner - or paid with tuition. Kupa payments are due at the same time as tuition.

The camp medical form must be completed in its entirety, and must include a copy of the family’s insurance card. The form must be signed by a parent and physician and submitted to Camp Naaleh no later than the first day of camp. Should Camp Na’aleh not receive the form by the first day of camp, campers will not be permitted to attend camp until we receive the completed form.
Dietary Restrictions: Camp requests that in the event that your child has a major dietary restriction, i.e. Gluten free/Celiacs, a conversation must take place prior to camp between you and our Rosh Mitbach (head of the Kitchen) about the specific needs.

Parents MAY NOT remove their child from camp on visiting day. In the event that a child has no visitors on Visiting Day, an in camp alternate visit can be arranged at the discretion of the Executive Director and the Mazkirut (head staff).

Camp does permit portable music players (mp3’s, IPods, including IPod touch Etc.) and small speakers, however we discourage bringing items of major monetary value as camp is not responsible for lost or stolen items.
Getting ready for camp: All information in preparation for camp can be found in the downloadable Parent Handbook Form located on our website at www.naaleh.org. Information includes: packing lists, parent FAQ’s, important summer phone numbers, and camp safety guidelines.
