The program’s tuition of $3,500 is being generously subsidized by grants from the Foundation for Jewish Camp and the Genesis Philanthropy Group allowing us to offer significantly reduced prices to parents.  Grant availability and amounts vary based on previous attendance at residential Jewish camp programs, including Havurah, and gradually decrease each year of attendance.  Only the first 100 campers will be eligible for the prices outlined in the chart below.  Subsequent registrants will only eligible for a portion of the grants.
