CLOTHING AT CAMP

RULES FOR CLOTHING

At camp, campers and staff are expected to dress in ways which demonstrate respect for the community. Clothing should be comfortable and should allow campers to safely and appropriately participate in the daily programmatic experience. Please take into consideration that the temperature at camp varies over the course of the day – it can be cool in the mornings and evenings and warm during the day.

• Closed toes shoes must be worn for active camp programs and activities, aside from time at the pool/lake, to help ensure safety.
• Shirts should be worn at all times outside of the bunk when in public, unless campers are at the pool/lake. All shirts must contain straps.

The following swimwear is appropriate for camp:

• One-piece or tankini style swim wear that completely covers the midriff
• Board shorts or boxer style swim trunks
• Rash-guard/swim shirts

Clothing with references to alcohol, drugs, tobacco, sexual content, and inappropriate language is not permitted. NEW FOR 2024: The only flags that can be displayed outside of bunks include American, Israeli, or Ramah flags.

Simple, modest, nicer-than-everyday clothing is appropriate dress for Shabbat. We recommend nice pants, shorts, a skirt, a shirt or a dress. Jeans and clothing with words are not allowed for Shabbat. Shabbat clothing is worn on both Friday evening for Kabbalat Shabbat and on Shabbat morning.

There are limited electrical outlets in each bunk. Please limit the number of fans, lamps, and clocks. Hairdryers and other appliances are allowed but must be unplugged after use.

PLEASE LABEL EVERYTHING – each item of clothing should be labeled with the name of the camper. We recommend using Label Daddy – use code RAMAH for 25% off!

While we implement systems to protect your child’s possessions, Camp Ramah in the Poconos assumes no responsibility for wear and tear or loss of camper clothing, or other personal equipment. Should you desire insurance coverage for your child’s clothing, luggage and other personal belongings, we suggest that you arrange with your insurance agent for a floater policy to cover possible loss or damage.
