You can bring your own food (picnic style), cook your own food with a campstove (or over the fire) or purchase food from Mi Casa who will be on site!
Q. Can I drive myself?
Yes, there is parking on site. **Please do not use the Google Maps address for Kaufman it will lead you astray!** For GPS use: 1215-1251 Manor Rd, Staten Island, NY you will see the entrance to the "JCC camp" across the street from the school. That's where you turn.
Once you park you'll see a path on the left hand side of the lot leading up to a lake where check-in is.
