We use amazing savings duffel bags. Pack quilts, towels... in them. We pack in the 3 drawer rubbermaid one drawer underwear, one tzitzis and undershirts... one can be pants or toiletries. But yes I pack in them and I use painters tape to tape around it so it doesn’t open while traveling.

Thanks, very helpful! How many pieces of luggage do you send?

Is there a limit to how many pieces of luggage can be sent?
Also, in camp, where do they keep the plastic drawers and nosh bin? Do they bring home the nosh bin once camp is over?
My son is going for second half, so we still have time Wink

I don’t think there’s a limit. If it’s going on the luggage truck you pay more for each piece. I buy the regular size toy bins and put the nosh in there. They put those bins on their shelves. - yes he should bring the bin home at the end of the trip.

The plastic drawers they keep near their beds.

Previous years they let the chairs - this year they made a rule no chairs. I don’t know how strict they’ll be with enforcing it. I’m not sending a chair.

You can get the folding fabric boxes at dollar store. Not as strong but a disposable cheap camp option.

Call the camp and check if it’s still necessary. With cuomo relaxing the rules, some camps emailed that it’s no longer a requirement to do the PCR test..

Sorry not sending to Agudah, so I can't answer Covid questions.
What type of robes do the boys use for the shower and swimming? I would really appreciate links.
TIA

How is the food there? Do they give refreshments/ snacks between meals or just three meals? Trying to figure out how much food/snacks to send...

Thanks!
