Wondering what you should bring to camp? Here is our 2019 Packing List for Camp West! 

2020 Packing List COMING SOON!

Food & Drink

All meals, snacks, and beverages are included! This won’t be your typical camp food. Our camp chefs work hard to create menus that are filled with healthy, diverse menus that are super tasty to boot!

Camp Nai Nai Nai West offers Kosher-Style meals and snacks (no pork, shellfish, or mixing of meat & dairy), however the food will not be certified Kosher.

Our culinary team will work with each camper to ensure that any dietary restrictions are accounted for. Gluten-free? No problem. Not so great with dairy? You’ll have great options at camp! You’ll have the opportunity to indicate your dietary restrictions when completing your registration form so we can make sure you’re well taken care of during the weekend.

The bar will be open on Friday and Saturday nights, serving beer & wine with dinner and into the evening. Please note that hard liquor will not be served, but our evening festivities will be stimulating enough!

Programs

From color war to storytelling ‘round the campfire to dance parties, our daily camp-wide programs will bring us together for memorable community moments. There is a fun, and possibly wacky, camp program planned for each evening.

One of the highlights is the camp-wide festival, where we’ll dance, chill, eat, drink, and celebrate. Explore the featured carnival activities with your friends such as live music, a 3D photo booth, lawn games, face-painting, glow in the dark things, inflatables, and plenty of drinks and snacks.

Camp Counselors help you figure out the ins and outs of camp, introduce you to fellow campers through wacky games, lead activities during the day, and make sure you’re having an amazing time at night. Our counselors are active members of their own local Jewish communities, as Moishe House residents or MHWOW hosts, so when you’re back from camp you’ll have ample opportunities to stay in touch! 

Camp Specialists

Camp Specialists are outstanding Jewish educators who come from all over the country to lead our activities and programs, using their unique passion (be it dance, art, theater science, singing, or yoga) to explore Jewish identity, build Jewish community, and demonstrate that there are many ways to NAI!

Come back soon to see who will be joining us this year!

Getting to Camp

Camp Nai Nai Nai West is based at Walker Creek Ranch in Petaluma California. Quiet and secluded yet easily accessible, it’s only an hour away from the San Francisco Bay Area.

Check back for arrival and check-in times!

Transportation is not included in the registration cost but below are several great options!

CAMP BUS

Ride to camp in style on one of our camp buses. Kick back and relax for a stress-free ride to camp, or start the party early and get to know your fellow campers.

More details to come..

Confirmation of meeting points and instructions will be sent directly to travelers in advance of camp. Times and locations are subject to change.

PARKING PASS

If you prefer to drive with friends or want flexibility in timing, grab yourself a parking pass! Parking is limited, so all parking passes must be purchased prior to camp. If you do not purchase your parking pass and show up to camp without one, we cannot guarantee parking will be available or you will have to pay an additional fee for last minute parking. Please do not drive to camp without purchasing a parking pass for your car.

CARPOOLING

Need a ride or have a few empty seats in your car? We’ll send out a ride-sharing document prior to camp to help campers share the journey. Plus, you’ll help contribute to an environmentally friendly experience by limiting the number of cars on the road and lessening our carbon-footprint.

Camp Nai Nai Nai West is brought to you by Moishe House in partnership with Congregation Emanu-El. Moishe House provides vibrant Jewish community for young adults by supporting leaders in their 20s as they create meaningful home-based Jewish experiences for themselves and their peers. Congregation Emanu-El’s Young Adult Community seeks to cultivate an inclusive Jewish home in the San Francisco Bay Area where young adults in their 20s and 30s can build a robust community, develop meaningful relationships, and deepen their Jewish identity through spiritual, educational, social, and service-oriented programming.
