YCC offers a $50 reduction for each additional child registered per session. This discount is not applicable for starter or weekend camp.
Payment plans are available upon request. If you need assistance, feel free to contact us ycc@ymywha.com
The One Happy Camper Grant is open to first time campers only. Get up to $1,000 off your child’s first summer at Jewish overnight camp!
If your child is a first time camper, then your child may be eligible for a One Happy Camper Grant. There are no income requirements for eligibility; simply fill out the application form. If you have more than one child who is a first time camper, you can apply for a grant for each child.
- First-time campers who will be attending a Jewish overnight camp for 19 or more consecutive days are eligible to receive $1,000.
- First time campers who will be attending a Jewish overnight camp for 12-18 consecutive days could be eligible to receive $700.
- $500 grants for first-time campers who are enrolled for 12+ consecutive days and who have siblings that have received the OHC grant in the past.
- If a child enrolls for 12-18 days with a $700 grant and extends their stay to 19+ days, they will be able to upgrade to $1,000 (if funding remains available for that summer).
