or 2 duffels (one holds blanket/pillows/larger items)

That's besides for the plastic drawers and snacks box?
So it's typical to take 1 suitcase, 1 duffel bag, 1 plastic drawers, 1 snack box? = 4 pieces of luggage as far as truck is concerned?

We take 1 duffel and 1 suitcase and leave the drawers empty in case there's no room on the bus, because they charge extra for more than 2 items.

Thats what I'm trying to understand lol, so you pack snacks into the suitcase and he puts it into one of the drawers? By big drawers you mean the wider ones?

I put the snacks box into the big duffel, with the linen/blankets/towels (and some shoes if there is room). The other duffel fits all the clothing. The snacks box is a large plastic container, but it fits in the duffel.

Sounds good, it's just a really big storage container, right? Where do they keep it in camp?

I lay the 3 drawers into one of the duffel bags. The bin with snacks he took and put under the bus. I had 2 of the 36 inch duffels from closeout connection.

You all have been so helpful!! Tysm!!!
A few more last minute questions:
How do I give the canteen money? I send a check with my son?
How does it work with shabbos clothes, laundry wise?
They said something about switching PCP for insurance, but I didn't understand what the process is...
TIA!!

For canteen he can just give in money or you can send a check. They tried zelle but for some reason it wasn't working. Laundry is done once a week

Forgot to answer your other questions. I think there's an option for dry cleaners. I didn't do anything with PCP . Just gave my insurance info. I have private insurance so not sure what you have and if there is a difference.

My son is in camp now but I would say its the typical bin size that you would buy to store clothing. Like rectangular and deep.

The pay phones are free and the counselors have kosher phones that the boys can use to call

Call the camp office. My boys have been in camp for a couple of years, my insurance doesnt have this requirement.
