Kol Ramah, Week 3

The Magic of Zimriyah

Zimriyah Alef (First Performance)

Zimriyah Bet (Second Perfomance)

Another incredible Zimriyah is on the books! Having our families and guests join us at camp for this special evening was meaningful, as always. The chanichim sang their hearts out and everyone in the tent could feel their energy. We are so grateful to everyone who helped make this evening a success--Daniel Henkin and Dassi Rosenkrantz-Cabo, our Zimriyah Directors, all of our rashei edah (Division Heads), our year-round team, and, of course, our inspiring madrichim who modeled for our children how to be a part of this show and sang with them on the risers. Todah rabah to all and please enjoy the above videos of each performance!

This Week at Camp

On Friday, chanichim in Nevatim, Kochavim, and Shorashim had a very special treat! Former Nyack counselor and now children's book author and illustrator, Jen Kostman, came to camp and read them her new book, "Ella Kvelephant and the Search for Bubbe's Yiddish Treasure." Campers loved the book and had so much fun meeting Jen! You can order the book here.

Reminders

We provide our campers with snacks and meals throughout the day. For the safety of our campers and staff with food allergies, we ask that no food of any kind be sent to camp with your children.

Please send your child(ren) everyday with:

A refillable water bottle from home so that your child(ren) can refill it throughout the day with water to stay hydrated.
A bottle of sunscreen (labeled). Please apply sunscreen before your child departs for camp. We will reapply it throughout the day and the labeled bottle of sunscreen will be kept in your child’s changing area.
While not required, we highly recommend sending a hat for your child to wear, especially on hot days.

Important Procedures

Your children are having so much fun here that we encourage you to keep them in camp until the regular dismissal time. We understand that there are extenuating circumstances that occasionally require you to pick up your child early. If so, please follow these procedures:

Your child may be picked up by a parent or by an authorized adult previously designated in your CampMinder account. For any changes, please email travel@ramahnyack.org.
Please call camp at (845) 358-6240 or email travel@ramahnyack.org by 11am on the day of the change and let us know what time you will be picking up your child. The office staff will notify your child's counselor and bus driver of the revised dismissal plans.
Upon your arrival for early dismissal, please park in the Gould parking lot (across from the entrance to Nyack High School) and let our security staff know your name and your camper's name and they will call the office to let us know you have arrived. A staff member will escort your child to Gould to meet you, where you will sign him/her out. Please do not take your child out of camp without signing out.
All early pick-ups must take place BEFORE 3:00 p.m. After 3:00 p.m., pick-ups will be carpool pick-ups in the Gould parking lot at regular dismissal.
