QUALITY, KOSHER, and NUTRITIONAL VALUE exemplify the Camp Edward Isaacs
Dining Program. Delicious meals of top quality kosher foods are carefully
prepared to meet the needs and tastes of each camper. There are always
"extras" and a second choice available at every meal.
A vegetarian option is also always available. All of our suppliers
have been carefully chosen so that we can maintain the Camp Edward
Isaacs standard of excellence. Please click here to see a Sample
Menu.
Camp
Edward Isaacs has an air-conditioned medical facility on-site with
two full-time nurses and space for ten beds. A doctor from Long Island
Jewish Hospital makes house calls to camp three times a week and is always
on call. The Putnam Community Hospital is only ten miles from camp,
and there are doctors, specialists and dentists available nearby.
Campers
enjoy 2 swims daily in our Olympic size heated swimming pool. The first
swim of every morning is reserved for instruction. Our Water Safety Instructor
(WSI) swim staff uses the morning swim to teach our campers how to advance
their swim level with the use of the American Red Cross Learn to Swim program.
Each camper earns a certificate and swim level card from the American Red
Cross at the end of their summer stay. The afternoon swim is equally well
supervised and is for fun and games. Recreation swim is the way to keep
cool all summer long. Campers love splashing around in the deep-end, using
the diving board, slide and basketball hoops. Campers participate in swimming
relay races and fun contests all summer long.
What
is the camp's policy concerning phone calls home and phone calls from home?
Phone
Calls Home: Each bunk will have a designated Phone Home Time while at camp.
Parents and caregivers will be informed as to when to expect a call from
their child (Ex. Ruth A will have Phone Home Time on Wednesday from 7-9
P.M. Parents and caregivers can expect to hear from Lisa sometime
between 7 and 9 P.M.)
Phone
Calls From Home to Camp: It is our desire to provide each camper with a
fluid, fun, and exciting camp day. For this reason, we prefer that
calls into camp be limited to emergencies only. Please remember
to reserve calls into camp for emergencies only (remember that the sound
of a loved ones voice can stir up some "home sickness" that might have otherwise
not been present).
