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.
At Summer Discovery, we're curious and always asking questions about the world around us. Each week we concoct and construct hands-on experiments in STEM that delight our sense of wonder. We foster community, promote personal growth and stimulate summer learning with discussions, outdoor play, art projects, group reading, and more! Weekly themes are always centered around science, and connect popular themes with academic exploration. Be prepared to have lots of conversations about our planet and beyond at the dinner table each evening!
