FAQs & Camp Policies

Before you pack

The most common questions, answered

01 What makes Amcha Boys unique?

Amcha is the only all-boys travel program that integrates meaningful learning, exciting tiyulim, and competitive sports into each and every day’s schedule. The learning is led by incredibly talented and relatable Rebbeim and madrichim, the tiyulim are coordinated by Sulam’s touring partner, Keshet, and the sports program consists of organized nightly basketball leagues and special ‘sports-centric’ event days (Super Bowl football day, FIFA soccer tournament, etc) each week.

02 What does a day at Amcha look like?

We‘ve attached the detailed schedule to this FAQ. We are big believers that children (especially teens!) need structure to feel productive, grow and thrive. We are confident that this schedule, and the combination of learning, tiyulim, and sports, will leave each boy feeling inspired, happy, and engaged.

03 What if my child doesn’t love sports?

That’s OK! Sports leagues are only at night (and one sports tournament a week, usually on Tuesdays). In addition to those night leagues, we will have plenty of alternative activities to enjoy — and will be having a ‘camp-like’ night activity every night following the leagues (and a mishmar on Thursdays). 

 

04 Will my son be assigned to a specific room and/or bus for the entire summer?

Each camper will submit a form prior to the summer (similar to bunk requests), which will guide initial room assignments and chabura groups. While chaburas remain consistent throughout the summer, room assignments get mixed up every week. There are no set bus assignments if there are two buses. This promotes healthy integration and helps foster the important positive camaraderie amongst the campers. 

05 How many Free Weekends are there on the program?

While Amcha is a five-Shabbos program, there is only one ‘Free Weekend’ throughout the entire summer with a return on Motzei Shabbos. This is an opportunity for campers to spend time with family or family-friends in Israel. Detailed information surrounding the Free Weekend is shared with our forms.

06 Is there a dress code?

The boys will be required to wear pants to Shacharis and morning shiur. On Shabbos, boys must wear pants and solid-white or solid-blue button down shirts. Of course, a kippah or hat must be worn at all times and tzitzis is expected to be worn outside of sports games, swimming, water hikes, etc.

07 How are specific food allergies handled on a program like Amcha?

Our food service is equipped to handle all common food allergies! There will be a designated dedicated staff member who serves as the point-person for all special food needs, including food allergies. Parents will have the opportunity to discuss any concerns with that staff member prior to the summer.

08 Does Amcha have a home base or do they travel from place to place?

Amcha is a touring program, with several long-stay campuses, shorter “overnight trips” (Eilat, for example) or “out Shabbosim” (Tzfat, for example) scheduled throughout the summer. We are looking forward to sharing the draft Amcha 2026 itinerary shortly!

09 Everything sounds great! What are the next steps?

Our quick online application is available at www.campmorasha. The $1,500 deposit is refundable up until November 1. Acceptances will be sent after November 15 and withdrawing after acceptances are shared will result in a $750 penalty (ie, only half the deposit will be returned). First tuition payments begin after that, based on the chosen schedule on the application.
