2022 Summer Camp Details

Our camp program is offered for nine weeks starting on June 27th and ending on August 26th. Families must register for a minimum of six weeks; weeks do not need to be consecutive.  If your family is traveling out of state or out of the country during the time that summer camp is in progress, your child will be held to the NJ state quarantine regulations upon their return. Those regulations are changing regularly due to COVID numbers, so please be sure to research this prior to travel.  

There are four different registration plans you can choose from (A, B, C, and D) ranging from the hours of 7:30 am – 6:30 pm (please see the parent letter).  Camp is available for children ages 4 years old through 8th grade.  (Age is determined by your child’s age as of July 1, 2022 and grade is determined by the grade your child will be entering in September 2022.)  If a child is 4 years old by July 1st, 2022, he/she is eligible to enroll provided they are toilet trained.  No child may attend unless they are toilet trained. 

Early Bird Registration Dates:   until 5/14/22.   

$100 NON REFUNDABLE Deposit per camper at the time of registration.  Deposit will be deducted from your total purchase.  Must be paid in full by May 14, 2022.  If not, the Early Bird Rate is forfeited and the Regular Registration Rate applies.
