Q: What is the deal with the beds? THE BED QUESTION: What is the difference between a bunk room and a 3 bed room?
A: ”A basic bunk room is our least expensive option and has 3-4 bunk beds in it. Each person gets both the top and lower bunk. Beddings and towels cost extra. A three bed room has standard beds, not bunk beds (it is not available for scholarship recipients). Some beds are single, some double plus beddings and towels are included in the cost and it is more expensive than a bunk bed room."

A: Our non-profit, secular organization, The Creative Arts Community, Inc. has been renting the Menucha Conference Center every summer for 50 years. Over the years Menucha has developed some of their own arts programming, but it is not as extensive as ours.
