NCSY and the Orthodox Union strive to create an environment in which NCSY participants and NCSY adults can interact in a safe, appropriate, and halakhic (Jewish law) environment. Everyone actively involved with NCSY anywhere in the world is expected to contribute positively to this atmosphere. If you have been made to feel uncomfortable or treated inappropriately, please call the Ombudsman Telephone Hotline at 212-613-8361.
Our top priority is the health and safety of your children. Our goal is to run successful, inspirational and impactful programs in a structured environment with clear rules, policies and guidelines in place and enforced. We know that you are entrusting us with your children for the duration of the event and we take that responsibility extremely seriously.
As such, there will be ZERO tolerance for:
* Violence, depending on the seriousness of the act, may result in referral to law enforcement authorities.
*Bullying, hazing, harassment, sexual abuse or assault will be grounds for dismissal and may result in expulsion from all future NCSY events.
* Foul, obscene or profane language of any sort (verbal, written or electronic) is unacceptable.
* Smoking or vaping at an NCSY event may be grounds for immediate dismissal from the event at the earliest practical time.
* Possession and/or use of alcoholic beverages at an NCSY event is grounds for immediate dismissal from the event at the earliest practical time, and may be subject to further disciplinary action at the discretion of the Regional Director in consultation with the National Youth Commission.
* Possession and/or use of illegal drugs and controlled substances at an NCSY event is grounds for immediate dismissal from the event at the earliest practical time, and may be subject to further disciplinary action at the discretion of the Regional Director in consultation with the National Youth Commission.
* Bringing illegal weapons (such as guns, switchblades, sharpened box cutters, sharpened screwdrivers, etc.) to an event will result in confiscation of the weapons, expulsion from the event at the earliest practical time, and may also be referred to the appropriate law enforcement authorities.
Parental Responsibilities:
In the interest of protecting NCSY participants, parents are expected to disclose to the lead NCSY Adult overseeing an NCSY event, any medical, physical, or psychological condition. This includes alerting the NCSY Adult concerning medications, allergies, special accommodations and special dietary needs. Parents must also provide an available emergency contact in advance of the event.
Should a situation arise over the course of an event when the lead NCSY Adult is concerned regarding a teen’s physical, psychological, or emotional well-being, or that it is revealed that medical or other relevant information was not disclosed on the waiver and/or medical form, standard procedure is to send the teen home at the parents’ expense and without a refund.
In addition, there are other occasions when a teen would be sent home at the parents’ expense and without a refund, which occur when the teen has violated NCSY policy.
Medication:
In order to be qualified to attend a NCSY program, a teen who is currently taking any sort of medication should be able to administer it on his/her own and must bring only the appropriate amount needed during the program. All this information must be disclosed on medical forms that will only be seen by designated supervisory personnel and will be kept private.
As part of the registration the participant and the parents of the participant acknowledged reading and agreed to abide by the above rules and regulations.

SKIING ESSENTIALS:
Layering is absolutely essential for maximum warmth and dryness. With layers, you can easily add or shed clothing as you choose. There are three pieces in the layering system:
1. Inner Layer - The purpose of the inner layer is to draw the sweat away from the skin to the next layers, which makes the wearer feel warmer and more comfortable. A good choice for the inner layer is lightweight, Polyester type or Lightweight Capilene. Avoid pure cotton and 100% nylon. Cotton alone retains moisture and will only make you colder as you sweat. Nylon does not breathe, so, it is not recommended.
2. Middle Layer - A middle layer polar fleece is ideal. A light fleece or micro fabric turtleneck is also appropriate for this layer. Again, avoid cotton pieces while snow skiing.
3. Outer Layer - Waterproof, windproof fabrics are best for the outer layer. A pullover is a good choice. A jacket with lots of zippers and pockets to secure things while skiing.
Other items to consider:
SKI SOCKS
Ski socks are specially designed to be just the right thickness according to ski boot manufacturers. They are knee-high, seamless, thermal socks that keep the feet warm and keep moisture from the skin, while the special spongey weave cushions the feet in the boots. Note: Thick Wool Socks; No Cotton.
SKI PANTS
Substitutes like jeans should not be considered. Pants should be waterproof and high-waisted to protect the small of your back.
SKI HATS
Woolley hats or fleece peaks are essential for warmth and protection from the sun. Did you know...40% of your body heat is lost through the head alone? A ski hat is essential for comfort and health.
SKI GLOVES & MITTENS
Cold hands can ruin a ski holiday. Not enough emphasis can be placed on the importance of good quality gloves.
