FAQs & Camp Policies

Before you pack

The most common questions, answered

01 Where is Morasha Kollel located?

Morasha Kollel is located in the picturesque northeastern Pocono Mountains. We are in the heart of Wayne County, about two-and-a half hours from New York City.

02 How does my child get to camp?

Children come to camp on air-conditioned, bathroom and video-equipped coach buses. Experienced staff members escort the campers on each bus. There are departures from Long Island, New Jersey, Westchester, and select airports. Details on specific locations may vary from year to year and are sent to each registered camper in the Spring.

03 How does my child’s luggage get to camp?

Parents from around the US are able to sign up with “Campify” and have their luggage picked up from their homes and delivered directly to their children’s bunks. Campify has also contracted with FedEx to coordinate a pick up and delivery for campers who live outside the TriState area. Campers who live outside Campify pick up areas may send their luggage privately via UPS or FedEx.

04 What electronics are permitted at Morasha Kollel?

We do not recommend sending expensive electronics, watches, or gaming devices with your sons to kollel, as they can get lost and/or prove to be a distraction to the program. Please pack any such items at your own risk. Phones are permitted for kollel campers, for educational purposes and to communicate with their families.

 

05 Is Morasha Kollel nut-free?

Our first priority is your safety and health. We are a nut-free camp. We have many talmidim who have SEVERE allergies. To ensure your health and safety, no outside food is permitted in the Dining Room and NO HOME-MADE GOODS should be packed. Rest assured that your children will receive plenty of wonderful, nourishing food, desserts and baked goods in the Dining Room.

06 What seforim should members of the Kollel bring?

Members of the Kollel will receive an email with the full Sefarim list in the Spring. In general, the following seforim are recommended:

  • A Chumash (Bamidbar/D’varim) with Rashi, for shtayim mikra (Boys are ma’avir sedra before each Shabbos).
  • Kinnos, for those campers who will be in camp for Tisha B’av (The Kollel has kinnos available, but bringing one with an English translation is highly recommended.)
  • Those who own a mini-Shas are encouraged to bring it.
  • Bringing a Jastrow is highly recommended. 
  • Members of the Kollel are highly encouraged to begin studying the mishnayos of the chosen mesechet in advance of the summer.

The Kollel has a whole Beis Medrash filled with seforim for everyone to use, and you are more than welcome to bring with you any other sefarim you plan to learn on Shabbosim and Bein Ha’sdarim. Please note that each member of the HS Kollel will be asked to say Divrei Torah once or twice on Shabbosim throughout the summer, so bring along any sefarim that will assist you in preparing these Divrei Torah. 

07 When may I visit my campers at camp?

There is a designated day called “Visiting Day” for all family members and friends to come visit camp. Visiting Day is always a great day for our campers and visitors, and runs from 11:00 am – 4:00 pm EST. We respectfully ask all parents to limit visitation to this day. Parents who cannot come on Visiting Day should call the office to arrange an alternate time as we have a one-visit per visitor policy at camp. Under no circumstances will unauthorized visitors be permitted on campgrounds on non-visiting days.Please be assured that we will be in touch with you should there be any issue with your child.

08 Do Kollel participants go on trips?

Yes! Members of our High School Kollel go on weekly trips, including rafting, ropes course, water park (boys-only rental), intercamps, and more!

09 Where is Morasha Kollel located?
