Thanks to the generous support of our donors, “camperships” are available to help make camp affordable and accessible to all – click here to find out more (more information and the financial aid application will be available by December 2025).

If you pay via Credit Card there will be a 3% processing fee added to the charge.  (There will be no Credit Card fee added to the required $800 deposit charge.)

If you pay via e-check there will be a 0.6% processing fee added to the charge.

While we prefer you not pay via wire transfer, please be aware that there will be a $15 fee added to your account per individual wire transfer.

If you have any questions regarding the application process, please contact Registrar Shore Goldberg by emailing shore@campyavneh.org or calling 603-413-5554.

Starting Monday, September 15th, you can find our 2026 camper application on the Yavneh CampInTouch login page. After logging in, click on the 2026 season in the drop-down box when prompted.

Please note that submission of an application does not automatically enroll your child(ren) in Camp. While all applications will require an $800 deposit per camper via Credit Card, this deposit will only be charged once our office processes the application and your child is accepted, beginning in early-October. We will send an enrollment confirmation once your child has been accepted.

Parents of first-time camper applicants are required to fill out a new camper profile and meet with our Director of Camper Experience (Bentie Rabinovitch) BEFORE your child can be enrolled.  This includes first-time campers who are siblings of returning campers.  When you submit your child’s application, you will receive a link to schedule this meeting.

Please make sure to complete all parts of the application until the final “Submit.”  Once you complete the application, you should immediately receive an automated confirmation email that your application has been received. If you do not get this email, it means we didn’t get your application (but please check your spam folder before reaching out).

We will hold 2026 spots for every returning camper in the same session they attended in 2025 until Sunday, October 19th.  For example, if your camper attended the first session in summer 2025, they will have a guaranteed spot in the first session of 2026.  If you have a returning camper and you have not submitted your application by October 19th, we cannot guarantee a spot for your child.

All families may apply starting on September 15th.

After October 19th, we will begin enrolling new campers in the order in which the application was received.  All applications received after October 19th (for both new and returning campers) will be processed on a rolling basis.  Notifications of enrollment will be sent once your camper’s application has been processed.

If you wish to switch your returning child’s session for next summer, please submit your application as soon as possible. Requests for campers to switch sessions will be accommodated only after all applications are processed. In most cases, we will not know until early November if we can accommodate your request. Enrollment capacity last summer was full, and there may be limited opportunities for switching and/or extending sessions.

If you wish to extend your child’s session to full summer, please submit your application as soon as possible. In your application, please select “Full” for the 2026 season. Your child will initially be accepted to the same session as 2025; notification of acceptance for full summer enrollment will be made in November.

Incoming Kerem 2026 applicants may begin applying at the same time as all other campers, but their registrations will not be processed until they have participated in an interview with camper leadership.  Rising Kerem campers and their parents will receive a separate letter with instructions about scheduling an interview in early October.  Please note: Kerem is capped based on the size of the bunks and enrollment is strictly first-come, first-served. We will not accept any Kerem applications after November 16, 2025.

The Na’aleh 2026 application will open in early November, stay tuned for more details.

New families may submit applications beginning Monday, September 15th.  These applications will be held in a separate queue to be processed after October 19th.

We understand that some families may not yet feel ready to commit to next summer at this point in the year.  While we will require a deposit upon enrollment, this deposit is fully refundable until December 31, 2025.  As space is limited, and we will likely have waiting lists for many aydot, we encourage you to sign up as soon as possible in order to ensure your camper a spot.

This year, visiting day will take place on the final day of first session, Sunday, July 19th.  More details will be provided in early 2026.

All applications require a deposit of $800 per camper paid by Credit Card (with no fee added).  There are several options available to pay the balance (listed below).  You will choose one when completing the application.

A reminder: while deposits must be paid by credit card, you can choose to pay your remaining balance via Credit Card or eCheck.  If you pay your tuition balance via Credit Card, there will be a 3% processing fee added to the charge. (While we prefer you not pay via wire transfer, please be aware that there will be a $15 fee added to your account per individual wire transfer.)

If you pay all of your camp tuition + Security fee before Dec. 31, 2025, you will receive a discount of $150 (one session) or $250 (full summer). This discount does not apply to Kaytana or Na’aleh.

(1) Pay in Full: If you select this option, your entire camp balance will be charged upon enrollment.*

(2) Two payments: after the initial deposit, 50% of the balance will be charged on Nov. 25 and the remaining balance will be charged on Dec. 23rd.*

(3) Five Installments: after the initial deposit, the balance will be charged in five equal monthly installments on Dec. 2, Jan. 5, Feb. 3, March 3, and April 6.

*All families whose entire balance is paid before December 31, 2025 will receive an early-payment discount of $150 (one session) or $250 (full season). (Note: This discount does not apply to Kaytana or Na’aleh.)

Program Protector Plans are available to U.S. residents from the United States Fire Insurance Company during the registration process. The plans may protect up to the full cost of camp if you withdraw your child from camp. Benefits include Program Cancellation and Interruption, Travel Delay, Medical Expense, Baggage, Baggage Delay and more. An Enhanced Plan (not available in New York) is also available to provide Cancel For Any Reason coverage for cancellations until two days before camp. We strongly recommend that families purchase one of these policies. More information to come. The fee is paid directly to the insurance agent, Trip Mate, Inc., upon enrollment.

Thanks to the generous support of our donors, “camperships” are available to help make camp affordable and accessible to all – click here to find out more (more information and the financial aid application will be available by December 2025).

After paying the initial deposit upon enrollment, families requesting Financial Aid will be expected to pay 10% of the tuition balance each month, Nov. 17, Dec. 16, Jan. 15, Feb. 17.  Once “camperships” are announced (in late February and early March), the remaining adjusted balance will be charged in three equal installments from March – May.

If the campership offered to you is insufficient, and you would like to cancel your child’s enrollment, we must be notified in writing by March 15th, and all payments will be refunded. We remain committed to enabling as many campers as possible to attend camp, with parents making a meaningful contribution to tuition.

Local Jewish Federations, Jewish Family Services, as well as synagogues and rabbis (through their discretionary funds) are excellent resources for camper scholarships as well. Additional resources may be available for first-time campers once accepted to camp (for example, One Happy Camper and PJ Library have campership funds available for first time campers). Please explore these options and be in touch with your local organizations to find out how to qualify.

We understand that unforeseen circumstances may necessitate you to withdraw your child from camp. All withdrawal notifications must be made in writing to Shore Goldberg, Registrar (shore@campyavneh.org). The following is Yavneh’s cancellation policy:

–Until December 31, 2025: Full refund including the $800 deposit.
–January 1 to February 28, 2026: 75% refund of the remainder of balance, excluding the non-refundable $800 per camper deposit.
–March 1 to May 14, 2026: 50% refund of the remainder of balance, excluding the non-refundable $800 per camper deposit.
–From May 15, 2026 through the end of the 2026 summer season: No refund available.

If you wish to reduce your child’s enrollment (e.g., from full season to single session, or from a single session to Kaytana), you will incur a fee as follows:
–Until December 31, 2025: no fee
–January 1 to February 28, 2026: $300 fee
–March 1 to May 14, 2026: $500 fee
–From May 15, 2026: $1,000 fee
Once camp begins for your child, there are no refunds.

Each year we expand and strengthen our camp security infrastructure in order to provide a safe and secure environment for our campers, staff, and community.  In support of our expanded efforts, we have added a mandatory per camper security fee ($125 for one session, $250 for full summer and Kerem campers).

Camp Yavneh offers families the opportunity to use our round-trip bus transportation to and from Boston and New York (for all sessions other than Kaytana’s departure) for a nominal additional fee. Camp can also provide airport transfers for Manchester, NH, and Boston (long-distance flyers only) for an additional fee. (All travel fees will be charged in the spring.)

All camper luggage must be delivered to camp before the first day of your camper’s session.  For campers coming from the Northeast, Yavneh will offer a luggage delivery service (the cost of this service is $150 per camper for two pieces of luggage, and an additional $100 fee for a third bag).  Families unable to use the Yavneh luggage service may ship luggage directly to camp to arrive before your child’s first day of camp via FedEx, UPS, Ship Camps, etc.  All campers who live outside of the United States may bring their own luggage on opening day.

Medications, vitamins, and supplements that campers need to take while at camp must be ordered directly from our camp pharmacy service in the spring. The $25 packaging fee (subject to change) is paid directly to the pharmacy service.  If your child becomes ill during the summer and needs a prescription, we will charge your family’s account for the cost of the prescription.

Ma’alot campers (current 9th graders) have the opportunity to train to become a certified lifeguard during the summer (for an additional fee). Please indicate your child’s interest in participating when you submit the application.

Bedding and towels may be rented from camp for $50 for the full summer season.
