The learning is led by incredibly talented and relatable madrichot, the tiyulim are coordinated by Sulam\u2019s touring partner, Keshet, and the unique elective-based experiences are designed with the girl\u2019s interest in mind.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What does a day at Amcha Girls look like?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2018ve attached the detailed schedule to this guide. 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 growth, will leave each boy feeling inspired, happy, and engaged.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Will my daughter be assigned to a specific room and\/or bus for the entire summer?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>How many Free Weekends are there on the program?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While Amcha Girls is a five-Shabbos program, there is only one \u2018Free Weekend\u2019 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.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Is there a dress code?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At Amcha, we are committed to creating an environment where girls feel comfortable, confident, and connected\u2014while maintaining a standard of tzniut that reflects the values of our program.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The dress code for the entire program, including trips and Shabbos, is as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Skirts must cover the knee at all times \u2014 including while sitting, walking, and during activities.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shirts must fully cover the collarbone (no wide or low necklines). Sleeves must extend at least halfway down the upper arm. Cap sleeves are not permitted\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clothing should not be tight, sheer, or overly form-fitting.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our goal is not to police clothing, but to foster a respectful, uplifting atmosphere where the focus is on growth, friendships, and shared experiences. We truly appreciate your partnership in helping us maintain these standards so that Amcha can be a positive and inspiring space for everyone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>How are specific food allergies handled on a program like Amcha?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Does Amcha have a home base or do they travel from place to place?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amcha Girls is a touring program, with several long-stay campuses, shorter \u201covernight trips\u201d (Eilat, for example) or \u201cout Shabbosim\u201d (Tzfat, for example) scheduled throughout the summer. We are looking forward to sharing the draft Amcha Girls 2026 itinerary shortly!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Everything sounds great! What are the next steps?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What happens if I still have some more questions?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We are here to help! You can reach out to R\u2019 Yisrael &amp; Rachel Feld at felds@campmorasha.com, Andrea Schulman at amchagirls@campmorasha.com, or our camp office at office@campmorasha.com.
