Discounts

Multi-Child Discount: If you have more than one child from your immediate family enrolled, the first camper in the family will pay full tuition. Each additional child will receive $125 off tuition (Machar is ineligible).

Multi-Session Discount: Enroll your child for both sessions and receive a $250 discount ($100 for Bonim).

Additional Fees

Security Fee: To help offset rising security costs, we are following the lead of our congregational partners and other Jewish camps in the South. A security fee will be assessed for our camp programs, determined by the length of a camper’s session:

• Niviim and older (Full-session/23-nights) $125
• Bonim (9-nights): $55
• Machar (3-nights) and Year-Round retreats: $10

If you have any questions about our security fee, please reach out to Rabbi Erin Mason or Marissa Meador.

Payment Options: Payments may be made by E-check, paper check, debit car (all without surcharge) and credit card (Visa, Mastercard, and Discover). A non-refundable 2.75% credit card processing fee will be added to all credit card transactions.

Non-URJ Surcharge: Families who are not members of a URJ congregation will be assessed a $250 surcharge per camper ($85 for Bonim/$0 for Machar). For non-URJ families with multiple campers, the maximum surcharge amount is $500.

Questions about tuition and billing? Reach out to our business manager, Jakeem Ochilly at JOchilly@urj.org or our Administrative Assistant, Daniella Martinez at DMartinez@urj.org. 

We have standardized payment deadlines across all URJ campers, to create a more uniform policy.

Upon enrollment $500 deposit per camper is due.

150 days prior to Camp’s first session start date (1/16/25), 25% of tuition payment is due.

90 days prior to Camp’s first session start date (3/17/25), an additional 50% of tuition payment is due (75% of tuition paid).

60 days prior to Camp’s first session start date (4/16/25), final payment is due.

If your family registers after one or more of these deadlines have passed, you will be responsible for the tuition percentage that reflects the current date. 

Questions about tuition and billing? Reach out to our business manager, Jakeem Ochilly at JOchilly@urj.org or our Administrative Assistant, Daniella Martinez at DMartinez@urj.org. 

We do not want the financial expense of camp to be the reason that your camper cannot attend for the summer. We believe that every camper is the most important person in the world, and we want to help make camp a reality for you and your camper.

We are pleased to offer partial, need-based financial support or “camperships” for Summer 2025. Your application will be reviewed on a rolling basis beginning in December.

First-time campers in our full session (24-day) programs are eligible for a one-time, non-need based $1,000 grant from One Happy Camper. Learn more on our Campership page on the ‘Campership Checklist’.

Please visit our Campership page for information on how you can receive financial aid for your camper’s summer tuition.
