Information for Parents
Dear Parent
Before sending your student to Camp Id-Ra-Ha-Je please remember these helpful tips:
- Camp is located at 8,700ft which means the weather can change at any moment! Please prepare for ‘winter’ type conditions.
- Please label all your student’s personal items with his/her name. With over 2,000 students each year, we gather a lot of “Lost and Found” items.
Medications
Your school staff will handle all medications; however, ALL medications including prescription, over-the-counter, vitamins, homeopathic and herbs must be clearly identified with the student’s name, the correct dosage and times to be given. The medications need to be signed off by a doctor.
Food Allergies
Food allergies and special diets are not uncommon! We would love to help accomidate your group. Please contact our Food Service Manager at least 2 weeks prior to arriving. If we do not hear from you, we may not be able to meet your needs adiquately.
