Yes, if they’re in the same grade and program.
Most often a group of about 12-16 children who are in the same grade and program. Bunks are usually not coed, but many activities are.
Each bunk has a head counselor who is a college grad or a college upperclassman. The head counselor is assisted by college students or sometimes a high school upperclassman. The staff-camper ratio is 1:4.
The sole responsibility of the counselors is each child’s general welfare, and they spend all day with their bunk. Each of the day’s activities is led by a different team of specialized instructors, highly trained and certified in that activity.
With Extended Day you can pick up your camper from the big camp as late as 5:45 p.m. There is a $1 per minute fee for each camper after 5:45 p.m. The Nursery Camp day may be extended as late as 5:00 p.m. at Beth Tfiloh on Old Court Road.

Most ride average about 35 minutes each way. If you have a longer ride in the morning, you’ll likely have a short ride in the afternoon, and vice versa. Our routes run the same both morning and afternoon.
Times fall between 8:00-9:00 AM and 4:20-5:15 PM. Exactly where your stop falls on the route usually can’t be predicted before May. Our Extended Day program is another option.
We always have a Registered Nurse on duty at our Health Suite who can administer medication, give first aid, and follow doctors’ instructions. For anything out of the ordinary, we contact the parents or, if necessary, the emergency contacts you list for us.
The counselors are in the water with the kids and a large aquatics staff is teaching and guarding at all times. At the lake everyone wears life jackets at all times and guards are on duty. There are also open-water and canoe 1 certified guards at the lake. Our pools are designed to meet the needs of all ages and swimming abilities, from the most timid through expert.
