What if my child has severe allergies and/or an Epi-Pen?Camp Segal takes extreme precautions when it comes to allergies. Our dedicated allergy specialist reviews the lunch and snacks of each camper with allergies, working closely with their counselors to ensure every meal is carefully reviewed before it is given to the camper. Camp Segal never compromises the safety of our campers. Camp Segal is a “nut-aware” facility, serving only food that is free of tree nuts, peanuts, and nut oils and was manufactured in nut-free facilities. The allergy specialist inspects every shipment of ingredients received by our kitchen to ensure these requirements are maintained. Epi-Pens are managed and administered by our Health Director.

What if I need to drop my child off later than 4 PM?No worries! Camp Segal parents love that they have the option to pick up their child later than 4. If you need to pick your child up later than 4, your child can stay with their favorite counselors, enjoying extra activities with friends, until 5 pm.

Is there a meal plan? What can my child expect for lunch?Camp Segal is excited to offer a twice-a-week lunch program! On Tuesdays, campers can get excited for a finger-friendly meal such as chicken nuggets and french fries and on Fridays, we are excited to once again offer our camper favorite pizza from a local kosher pizzeria and visitation from an ice cream truck! On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, campers should pack their own lunch. Parents, please ensure that your packed lunches follow this policy: -All packaged foods brought by campers to camp must be dairy or pareve (i.e. neither dairy nor meat; please note that in Jewish law, fish is not considered meat). -Campers cannot share food with other campers.

What if my child is a “picky” eater?Camp Segal’s delicious and nutritious meals, offered twice a week, which include one “finger food” meal and one pizza day a week, are planned by our team with children’s tastes in mind. In the event that your child is a picky eater, we always have plenty of other options. Counselors serve lunch to ensure that every child finds something that he or she likes, including alternative choices! *Please let us know when you sign up if your child has any aversions to certain foods or dietary restrictions.

Can my child be placed in the same group as a friend?Campers may request to be grouped with up to two other campers within the same group. An important reason for coming to Camp Segal is the excitement of making new friends! *Please place request in the "additional info" box in sign-up.

What kind of training does your staff go through?All staff members are trained in First-Aid and CPR by our dedicated Health Director. Staff members participate in a rigorous training program before the start of camp. Their education continues during the summer with the ongoing discussion of group dynamics, the well-being of individual campers, programming, and logistics. The staff is there to ensure that your child feels safe, nurtured, happy, and accepted by the camp community.

There are 5 periods in the morning, with a snack break in between, then lunch, then 5 periods in the afternoon with snack to end the day. Activities are both indoor and outdoor and are balanced accordingly.

What safety policies does Camp Segal have to ensure the safety of the campers?Safety is paramount at Camp Segal. We have a PA system throughout the facility. Each of our Directors and counselors carries 2-way Radio which keeps us in constant contact with each other. All persons entering the campus must be checked-in with our top-of-the-line private security. If you have to pick up your child(ren) earlier than the dismissal time you must call ahead and we will bring your child(ren) to you. If you must send someone other than yourself or your authorized pick-up person, you must call ahead to let the office staff know and that person MUST have a picture I.D. or they will not be allowed to take your child(ren). If there are any special concerns that you have concerning authorized pick-ups, a director will be happy to handle that personally.
