Tiered Pricing Structure

At ICJC, we develop top-notch programs and create memorable experiences that will benefit kids for years to come. For us, running camp is about more than just a price tag. We believe all kids should have the opportunity to run, laugh, play, learn, and grow.

We understand though that not all families are able to pay the full cost of camp. Because of this, we have recently adopted a tiered pricing structure. A structure where YOU get to choose the cost of a week at camp. Regardless of what tier is chosen, the Camp experience will still remain the same. Thank you for your support as we continue to become a camp for ALL. 

TIER 1: $450 – This tier reflects the full cost for a week of summer camp at Camp Wood. We kindly ask that you pay this amount IF your family has the ability to do so.
TIER 2: $400 – This is a partially subsidized rate for families needing assistance in sending their child to camp.
TIER 3: $335 – This is a larger subsidy for families wishing to send their child to camp. Choose this rate if your family needs it. 

Financial Assistance

We recognize that even with our tiered pricing structure, camp can be difficult to afford for some families. Financial assistance is available to all and is based on household income and family size. Our form has been modified to be easier than ever before. Gift your child with an experience they’ll never forget! Email youth@icjc.org for the Financial Assistance application document.

Safety and Pick up Procedures During Camp

At Camp, the safety, well-being, and positive experience of every participant are our top priorities. In order to ensure the smooth operation of our camp program and maintain a secure environment for all attendees, we have implemented the following policy regarding early pickup of campers by parents or guardians:
 
Policy Statement:
Parents or guardians are not permitted to pick up their children early from Camp except in cases of emergency or unavoidable circumstances approved by camp administration.
 
Rationale:
Safety and Security: Camp operates under a structured schedule with planned activities and supervision by trained staff members. Allowing early pickups disrupts the supervision and security protocols put in place to ensure the safety of our campers.
 
Disruption to Programming: Early pickups disrupt the flow of camp activities and may detract from the overall experience for both the departing camper and their fellow participants. It can also impact the planning and execution of scheduled activities and group dynamics.
Impact on Experience: As highlighted above, campers leaving camp early often miss out on key program components, impacting their overall experience and the spirit of camp.
 
Accountability: By adhering to a consistent policy on early pickups, we maintain accountability for the whereabouts of all campers at all times. This helps ensure that campers remain within the designated camp area and under the supervision of authorized staff members.
 
 
Exceptions:
Emergency Situations: In cases of emergency, such as illness, injury, or family emergencies, parents or guardians may request an early pickup. Camp administration will assess each situation on a case-by-case basis and grant approval if deemed necessary.
 
Pre-Approved Absences: If a camper has a pre-approved absence from camp activities, such as a medical appointment or family event, arrangements must be made in advance with camp administration. Early pickups for pre-approved absences will be coordinated to minimize disruption to the camp program.
Procedure for Early Pickup:
 
Contact Camp Administration: Parents or guardians requesting an early pickup must contact camp administration in advance to explain the reason for the request and obtain approval.
Sign-Out Process: Upon arrival for early pickup, parents or guardians must sign out their child at the designated check-in area. Camp staff will verify the identity of the individual picking up the camper and record the time of departure.
 
Notification of Staff: Camp staff members will be notified of any early pickups and instructed to assist in facilitating the departure of the camper while ensuring that all necessary belongings are collected.
 
Enforcement:
Failure to adhere to the Camp Early Pickup Policy may result in disciplinary action, including loss of camp privileges. Camp administration reserves the right to enforce this policy in the best interest of the camp community
