For Families in Need of Financial Assistance
Ben Appelbaum Camperships
The Ben Appelbaum Camperships honor the legacy of Ben Appelbaum. Ben was an influential camp owner, director, and advocate for youth development. These awards provide reduced tuition based on verified family income, camper age, and selected program. Recipients are responsible for partial tuition according to the campership amount awarded.
For Families with Ultimate Flexibility
Ultra Flex Camperships
The Ultra Flex Campership Program offers families a discounted tuition rate in exchange for flexible scheduling. Camp dates are assigned by the Camp Director in the spring based on group availability by age and gender. This campership does not include bus transportation. Flex options are available for 15, 20 and 25 days of camp.
