Honestly, for $3,700 I'd expect delicious plentiful food.
Is the crowd a wealthier crowd than bnos? Why is it so much more expensive?

I have the same question… is the program so amazing?

My Dd has been there the past 3 years and had no complaints about the laundry, pool, or food! In fact, she came home from camp a nice few lbs more than she got there so the food must’ve been fine enough, and she’s a healthy eater who doesn’t even like Nosh.
She loved the pool and hung out there daily with her friends.
I had a diff experience sending a medical package to the infirmary and stuck in a little Nosh too, but she got whatever I sent.
The laundry is regular commercial laundry. Nothing came back damaged. Anything delicate, like a silk shabbos dress, she hand washed in the bunkhouse.

The email we received today said:

We will work on grades 5-7 over the next week or two.

Wondering if they respond either way, or only if accepted?
Why does it take so long??

[Someone else's personal info removed by mod] a few weeks ago. That could be the reason for the delay.

My daughter got her acceptance email on friday. currently in 7th grade, first time camper.
I find it strange that nowhere in the application or acceptance process does it mention the cost of camp, just the deposit amount.
anyone know the cost? Someone above said its 3700 per month. is that what it was last year? do we know if that is the cost this year, or is it more?

It said on the email that you can cancel within 48 hours and get your deposit back.

Does that mean all money back or do they keep some for the application fee?

From what I understand, it's easier to get in if you start from youngest age group. Then siblings. So basically I don't even know why I think we have a chance to get in

I imagine it depends on space.
My DD got in last year, going into 9th. I was actually very surprised she got in - I sort of told her you can apply but I don't know if you'll get in...and she did BH. I think it's because alot of girls at that age decide to go to travelling camps, and they had space.
