Parking, Luggage and Sign-Out Procedures

  • Safety is our highest priority. There are over 1,000 people in camp, many of them small children, so please drive slowly when driving in camp and follow the directions of our traffic control personnel. No camper-age children may drive in camp.
  • Parking: Our staff members will direct you to park in the appropriate parking areas. For families with only A-Side campers, you will park to the left and right of the road as you enter camp. For families with A-Side and B-Side campers or just B-Side campers, you will park on B-Side in Machane Gimel.
  • Luggage: If you are picking up or dropping off luggage, you will do so at maintenance on your way out of camp.
  • Sign-Out/In: If you are leaving camp during visiting day, you will sign out and sign back in with our staff at the guardhouse.

We look forward to seeing you on Sunday, July 21st!
