SAFETY & CARE<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Camp Nurse<\/strong><\/p>\n

A camp nurse is on-site most of the day in case of emergency. She will also be available every day after breakfast, during rest hour, and after dinner. The nurse can provide for most illnesses, and has an array of medications for almost every scenario. However if symptoms persist, she will be in touch directly with the parents and help figure out the next steps.<\/p>\n

Please note: CGI requires all campers to have medical insurance. If a family does not have medical insurance, we require they sign a release form taking responsibility for any medical costs. Please contact the office for more information.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hospitals<\/strong><\/p>\n

Should an emergency or extenuating circumstance arise, there is a hospital approximately 10 minutes away. Depending on how serious of an injury it is, we will consult with the parents as to what they want to do. In either case, we will make sure to inform the parents and keep them updated throughout.<\/p>\n

Medications<\/strong><\/p>\n

If your daughter requires any medication, please be sure to contact our offices before the start of camp. We will work together with you and ensure that your daughter receives the proper medications. We aim to make this process as seamless and easy as possible and to help provide for whatever she needs.
\nDuring camp, medications will be stored in the infirmary and will only be distributed by the camp nurse.\u00a0Please clearly label all medication with:<\/strong>\u00a0the camper\u2019s name, their doctor\u2019s name, the medication name, and the required dose.<\/p>\n

Tylenol, Advil, or any other remedy should be brought to the nurse at the beginning of camp,\u00a0and labeled accordingly.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Head Lice Protocol:<\/strong>
\nAs campers spend a lot of time in close proximity with each other, head lice can occasionally occur. Before camp, all campers must be checked for head lice; if they had lice, please make sure to inform camp prior to their arrival.
\nIf head lice is found on a camper, the nurse will help provide proper treatment: separating the camper from her bunk (head lice can be extremely contagious), cleaning her hair, etc.
\nThere will be a $150 minimum charge for the treatment of a child found with head lice.<\/p>\n

Dental Work<\/strong><\/p>\n

If a child requires dental work in camp, there are a number of local dentists we will be in contact with. If the camper is from Florida, the parent will be called and asked to make dental arrangements and pick up the camper from camp. If the camper is from out of Florida, we will call the parent and request permission to drive the camper to the dentist. Parents must cover any dental costs.<\/p>\n

Sun Safety<\/strong><\/p>\n

During the summer, Florida is notoriously hot and humid, and campers inevitably spend a lot of time outside (it is camp after all!). We encourage all parents to talk to their daughters before camp about staying safe in the sun. Best practices include: drinking plenty of water, wearing sunscreen on a daily basis, wearing a hat, and finding shade when possible.<\/p>\n

Homesickness<\/strong><\/p>\n

An important part of the camp experience is adjusting to being away from home. Our staff is well-trained to help your child adapt to camp life. If you have any concerns about how your child is adjusting while in camp, please call our office to speak with the Camp Mother.<\/p>\n

FOOD & ALLERGIES<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Meals<\/strong><\/p>\n

Meal Time at CGI Florida is much more than just about food. The Dining room is the hub of the camp spirit with singing and dancing accompany our meals. Additionally, the dining room is the place where the campers learn the daily Hayom Yom, Sefer Hamitzvos and Moshiach thought of the day. Chef Nissan works tirelessly to provide 3 meals a day with a fully stocked salad bar at lunch, dinner, and a daily snack. Our meals are nutritious, fresh, and most of all delicious.<\/p>\n

Allergy Accommodations<\/strong><\/p>\n

We ask that you please inform camp before the start of the summer of any allergies.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Camp is Nut Free<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lactose Intolerant: Please send LABELED Rice dream or soy milk with your daughter. It will be held in the camp fridge and available at mealtimes. There will always be cheese substitutes.<\/p>\n

Canteen<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every day during breakfast, campers place orders for the canteen and receive their snacks after lunch.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

CAMP POLICIES<\/h2>\n

At camp, it is our job to give your daughter an incredible experience packed with Chassidishkeit, learning, fun, and activities. Camp is a time where your daughter will make new friends and have experiences that they\u2019ll remember forever. In order to accomplish this, there are certain guidelines that must be followed:<\/p>\n

Books<\/h3>\n

Campers are busy almost all day doing all the activities that make camp so exciting, however there are also some opportunities to relax and cool down. During these times, we encourage campers to bring books, as reading is a healthy and productive way to unwind. Books must be written by frum authors and be about Jewish subjects. Campers can also bring magazines with Jewish content.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Music<\/h3>\n

We choose the music in camp carefully, and want to provide an atmosphere that is both fun and reflective of our Chassidishe values. Because of this, all MP3 players or iPods will not be allowed in camp. If a camper brings one, it will be safely stored away and returned at the end of the summer.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Electronics<\/h3>\n

There\u2019s enough time during the year to spend time on electronics, whether it\u2019s playing games or having a cell phone. We aim to give campers a space where they can connect with each other and experience their time here to the fullest possible extent. To that end, please leave these at home: cellphones, iPods, iTouches, PSP\u2019s MP3 players, radios, and computers. However, we do encourage campers to bring small cameras and accessories to help document their time here.<\/p>\n

If anything is brought to camp that we deem to conflict with these guidelines they will be safely stored away and returned and the end of the summer. Toasters, sandwich makers, and refrigerators are not permitted at camp due to a fire hazard.<\/p>\n

Property Damage Policy: Campers are responsible for any damages done to camp property. Raiding other campers, counselors, staff, or property will result in immediate dismissal from camp.<\/p>\n

Our Outlook<\/h2>\n

Throughout your daughter\u2019s time in camp, we work tirelessly to cultivate a Chassidishe outlook that incorporates all aspects of their lives, both physical and spiritual. A major part of this is ensuring that their outward appearance reflects those commitments. When we comport ourselves in the proper manner by dressing tzniusly and acting modestly, we create an atmosphere in which we can grow b\u2019ruchnius and b\u2019gashmius. Please ensure that your daughter abides by the following guidelines:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n
    \n
  • Skirts should always cover the knees (even while sitting); no slits allowed.<\/li>\n
  • Campers must always wear tights or knee socks that cover their leg; no short socks.<\/li>\n
  • Elbows and necklines should always be covered; no tight-fitting shirts.<\/li>\n
  • Campers will not be allowed to wear nail polish or makeup.<\/li>\n
  • While swimming, only one-piece bathing suits are allowed.<\/li>\n
  • On the way to and from the pool, proper robes and socks must be worn.<\/li>\n
  • Shabbos is a special time in camp, and we expect campers\u2019 clothing to reflect that atmosphere. Please send Shabbos clothes and shoes.<\/li>\n
  • Important: tznius applies even while in the bunkhouse, therefore: campers must wear nightgowns.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
