Family Camp fAQ





1. Do I need to be a current camp nageela camp family or alumni to attend Nageela Limited Edition?Absolutely not! Anyone and everyone is welcome to join us this summer for Nageela Family Camp, subject to availability.

2. What ages is nageela family camp for?Our program is for the entire family to enjoy, both young and old. While many of our activities will be tailored to children ages 7+ & adults , we can accommodate campers of any age. In addition to all our sports and activity facilities, our grounds are equipped with a playground and petting zoo to keep your younger ones happy at all times. We ask that you do not leave your campers of any age unsupervised while at Nageela Family Camp.

3. Are the prices all-inclusive for the entire NFC experience?Yes, this includes all meals, activities, and accommodations on campus.

4. What are the accommodations like? Will I be sleeping in a bunkhouse?Our campus functions as a retreat center throughout the year. The setup then, as will be for Nageela Family Camp, is very different than during a regular camp session. There individual rooms with beds with tempurpedic mattresses and furniture much like you would expect in a hotel. This is in addition to our lobbies, large ballroom, synagogue, Judaic library, indoor and outdoor pool, petting zoo, and sport and activity facilities.



5. How many families would you allow on campus at a time?We will host up to 15 families per session at Nageela Family Camp. This is in addition to our team and their families. 

6. Should we bring out own bedding/towels?If you would feel more comfortable, please feel free to bring your own bedding and towels. For your convenience, Nageela can provide fresh linen and towel service for an additional $20 per person and this would cover your entire stay. If you choose to bring your own, keep in mind that the beds are twin size tempurpedic mattresses. 

7. Can you give a sense of what a typical day would look like at Nageela Family Camp?The day will have some mix of structured and unstructured times. We plan to open both pools and the lake, arts and crafts, some sports activities, and other hobbies and spaces. Locations will be reserved for families to enjoy separately. We will also be offering Tefilah, Prayer Workshops, and Julu for adults and kids. As we see the interest level, this will help to shape our daily schedule as well. We would like to allow families to use both pools and the lake several times during your stay.

8. Will there be any restrictions for COVID-19?Since it is too early for us to know what CDC guidelines for resorts and hotels will be in August, we will just say that we will follow guidance applicable at that time.

9. Will kosher dietary laws be followed? What if someone in my family is a picky eater or has dietary restrictions?Yes! The Nageela campus is a Kosher facility and all food served will be Kosher. For picky eaters, we will be offering alternatives to our daily meals. If someone in your family has dietary restrictions, please contact us directly to discuss.

10. What if it rains while we are at Nageela Family Camp?Have no fear! Just as we do for our campers during the summer, the Program Director will provide “Rainy Day” activities for you and your family to enjoy! Our brand new Discovery and Exploration Center (DEC) will allow ample options for indoor activities.



11. Once we arrive at camp, will we be allowed to leave to explore the town or go hiking nearby?Absolutely, you will be allowed to leave campus and return during your stay at Nageela Family Camp. However, we would love for you to be on campus for as much of the time as possible. 

12. What are the exact dates? NFC is from August 11th to August 16th. You can come from Wednesday to Monday, or come on Wednesday and leave on Friday, or come on Friday and leave on Monday.

13. What is cost? The cost is $100 per person per day for the first two people in a room and $75 per person after that. 

15. How do I let you know that I am interested? Call 516.374.1528 ext. 103 or email ryw@jepli.org
