Summary / Extra Notes
Interviewers Notes for director/division head:
•
Forms
–
All forms need to be completed in CampMinder.
•
Bunking
–
a bunking form can be found on your campers NJYHome account. You are allowed to request 2 people on the request form. If you would like your child to be bunked with new campers, there is an option where you can choose “bunk with new campers” or “no requests at this time.” NJY Camps typically bunk campers by what grade they are entering into, by how long they are coming to camp and by using their bunk request form. If parents request a bottom/top bunk please tell them they can use one of the 2 requests they are provided to type in “Bottom or Top.” If all requests do not fit on the form please email the director.
• Direct parents to purchase the “required camper package” by going to the www.thecampspot.com
• Packing list will be on NJYHome under “forms.” If they ask for suggestions please feel free to provide reasonable suggestions (rain boots, shower caddy, battery operated fan, etc)
