COVID-19
As a licensed camp under the Israeli Ministry of Education, Camp Dror is obligated to follow all testing and quarantine regulations as set by the government. These rules change often. Camp Dror cannot tell parents what the obligations regarding testing and quarantine are until close to the start of camp. As per current regulations, campers do not need to be vaccinated to join, but will most likely be required to have proof of a negative PCR or antigen test before the start of camp. Camp Dror reserves the right to administer PCR/antigen tests to campers during camp as needed.
