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. Note: There is no camp July 4. 


Our Summer Day Camps are rich, learning environments full of new friends and new achievements which foster growth and independence. We designed our camps for children to explore, discover and challenge themselves. We focus on building self-esteem, confidence, and social skills while highlighting health and wellness. Our camps are progressive so campers can continuously experience new adventures and responsibilities as they grow.

Testimonials

"Our camper loves it. The staff is wonderful, kind, and considerate. He's learned so many new things including how to get along with lots of different people. He's happy and making friends. He comes home with a massive smile every afternoon."

"In two months our son grew so much at camp! He became so responsible, learned how to show he cared for others, found his place and voice in larger groups settings, and had so much fun along the way. The counselors, special events, and aftercare were amazing. Mature and professional for their age and we felt he was in the best hands. THANK YOU!"

"Camp encourages trying new activities without the fear of judgment. My daughter left camp with a new self-confidence that is now showing in her school work.  I can’t say enough about the great counselors and the fun and welcoming atmosphere. That combined with the safe and structured environment makes me a very happy camp parent! Thank you!!
