Campers do their own laundry. Campers should bring enough clothes for at least 10 days. every 10 days we will go to a laundromat close by. The cost of laundry is estimated at about $8-$10. Alternatively, there are laundromats nearby who can wash and fold your laundry.
Spending money varies between campers. We recommend you bring $200 . just to note, YKY serves three delicious meals a day; breakfast we prepare in-house while lunch and dinner are catered by a reputable caterer. Being in such a central and active location, we also take the campers very often for Pizza, Falafel, & Ice cream. Nevertheless, campers love going to the Shuk for fresh pastries and other goodies, need to do laundry, and buy souvenirs, so it’s really up to you.
