Trunks & Packing

Children thrive best in a structured environment. We’ve creating this ‘Packing Guide’ to not only help you with your camp preparations but, most importantly, to set your children up for a successful camp season.

Trunk Delivery

Campify — Official Luggage Transport
We encourage US-based families to send luggage through our luggage transport company, Campify. The link to register for trunk pick up and delivery is below. Campers outside the TriState Area can also arrange a discounted FedEx pick up and drop off through the Campify service and form. This summer’s pick up and drop off dates are listed on the top of the form as well.

Packing List

Check off items as you pack. All items should be clearly labeled with your child’s name.

Other Pointers

  1. Do NOT pack in more than two pieces of luggage for your child. Packing more than two bags is a clear indication that you've packed too much, which will only cause stress to your camper. Trust us!
  2. Label EVERYTHING with your child's name! Please note that camp staff unpacks for Nitzi campers prior to their arrival.
  3. Campers do not require a sleeping bag, as we provide whenever necessary for an overnight.
  4. Please do not pack flushable wipes. They often clog the toilets.
  5. For safety concerns, cooking devices and wax warmers / beads are not permitted.
  6. No stink bombs or soup nuts. Please!
  7. Weekly laundry service is provided at no additional charge and dry cleaning facilities are not available.

Dress Code & Policies

Please be mindful of our dress code when shopping for camp. All guidelines — including the dress code, phone and electronics policies, and more — can be found in the Policy Guide.

Storage Space in Bunks

We have invested in refurnishing and reorganizing every bunkhouse in camp. Our new setup involves bunk beds set up around the perimeter, leaving the center open for a more organized and community-oriented layout. Below is what storage space is available for each camper:

Personal Cubby
19″ × 12.75″ × 16″
5 shelves per unit. For clothing, linens, and towels. Boys: no hangers needed — clothing is folded. Girls: limited hanging space; pack hangers if desired.
Under-Bed Storage
35″ × 18″ × 30″
For shoes and nosh. Snack bins must be 9.25 gallons or less and 18″ or shorter.
Plastic Drawers
12″ × 25″ × 14″
3-drawer units ONLY (smaller size). For socks, underwear, and loose items. No hanging shoe organizers.

Notes on Nosh

Our first priority is the safety and health of our campers. Aside from Opening Day and Visiting Day, no package containing any food or drinks is to be sent to campers. This includes shipping or sending food with visitors or guests. All packages are directed to the Main Office, opened, and any food will be removed. No perishables, including meat, may be sent up with campers or staff.

A large fridge is placed on every bunk porch to store cold drinks only. Nosh can only be brought/sent on Opening Day and replenished on Visiting Day (even for First Session campers extending into Second Session).

We Are a Nut-Sensitive Camp

We have many campers who have severe allergies. The Camp Morasha kitchen and canteen do not prepare or serve any food products that contain peanuts, tree nuts, or sesame, OR offer products labeled “made in a facility that processes nuts.” Nosh brought to camp may not contain any such products.
