I usually put my kids box of snacks under the bus. I live in Monsey and plenty people do this. Make sure the box is clearly labeled amd your son must remember to take it off the bus.

If you want tzitzis and white shirts to be hung dry you need to send Woolite and teach your son how to hand wash them himself in the sink.

The camp doesn’t allow water via the luggage truck or on the buses so unless you are driving privately (in which case you can pack as many cases of water bottles as you want in your car and drop them off with your son), they email w info to order water bottles from a 3rd party vendor which are delivered to your son’s bunkhouse by the first day of camp. Prices quite reasonable for the good sports cap Poland Spring bottles.
White shirts- I pack my sons 1 per shabbos and tell them not to send with the camp laundry. For the bar mitzvah boys who also need a white shirt for davening, I send the Oxford whites they wears to yeshiva all year, 1 per week. They keep it with their hat and tefillin in the shul and put it on top of their T for davening and take it off after, switching to a fresh one each Sunday. So again, I send 1 per week and instruct not to put it in the camp laundry. So far so good x 2 boys going on summer #5 or 6

One set of 2 or 3 large drawers.
The shelves get stacks of folded clothes. The drawers are for snacks or underwear or loose items that get lost on a shelf.

Thank you! Anyone if they are enforcing the no fridge rule. He’s a big drinker and likes cold. I don’t want to send something big but a small soda style fright that he claims is not a big deal but want to make sure

They don't let.
But iirc they do have soda machines so he can buy cold daily.

Anyone know why they aren't having visiting day for 7th grade and up? The email they sent was wishy washy...
Also, do camps usually inform parents about trips the boys go on? Or at least major trips? I saw pictures on their status that my son's grade went to Niagara falls. I had no clue, maybe I'm just a nervous mom, but I would've liked to know about it before.

"Mini" visiting day is always just for the younger division but no one is checking to see what bunk your child is in at the gate.
They do not notify parents about the trips, I think they try to keep it as a surprise for the kids. They typically do the same trips each year (7th and 9th go to Niagara) but they don't tell the kids when they are leaving (although they usually can figure it out).

Most parents didn't want visiting day.many camps canceled.
But, you can definitely go and visit on Sunday. They will have on site visiting day for the younger kids. No one will stop you.
They don't let you know about trips in advance. If you are an old times you know what trips they will go one. The camp does a great job making sure everyone has what they need.
The younger bunks are in Kalahari right now. They all go out the same day on the major trip.

Thanks for your replies. We are clearly not old timers  , and probably won't ever be, since I have just one son... Regarding visiting day, they changed their mind three times which is super annoying because we planned our visit a few weeks ago already and then they switched it to no visiting day for 7th grade
