At the Y, we let you pay your summer camp balance in a way that works for you! When you sign up, you'll need to provide payment information, but you stay in control. As long as you pay each installment before the due date listed on your receipt, no automatic payment will be processed. If you partially pay early, only the remaining balance will be charged. You can make payments anytime from registration until each installment’s due date, at any frequency.
To pay your balance:
  • Click here and log into your online account
  • Visit your branch’s Welcome Center
  • Call our Remote Welcome Center at 973-758-9039

ALL CAMPS: Starting February 1, a $35 administrative fee will be added for changes to your camp experience. April 1 - Final day for camp deposit refund.


Our camps provide a safe and nurturing environment where children have fun, make new friends and explore new activities! All camp activities are created around exciting weekly themes with an emphasis on building confidence, self-reliance, and problem-solving skills. With the Y, you can be assured that your child will have a positive environment to play, learn and grow.
