Camp Health Advisory

Hello Parents,

The Habonim Dror Camping Association Executive Director, along with several other Camp Executive Directors and Israel program directors have sent out the following message.

Many camps and programs have been affected by swine flu. It is apparently spreading throughout the United States and several non-Habonim camps have staff and campers affected.

We have not received any warnings from our program provider in Israel or from the Israeli Ministry of Health that is dangerous to travel to Israel. I have also brought this issue up to Gil, Rosh MBI and we want to assure you that the health and safety of our participants is our top priority.

This being said if your child is feeling sick or exhibiting flu-like symptoms please take them to a doctor prior to the trip.
