4-TIER PRICING PROGRAM

Realizing that families have differing abilities to pay, CGIP has instituted a voluntary 4-tier pricing program. Please take a moment to look at the following tier descriptions and choose the tier that is most suitable for your family. All children will have the same experience no matter which tier a family is able to pay. The tier selected by a family will be kept confidential.

Tier 1

Is based on the full cost of campers attending the selected session. If your family is able to pay this amount, please do so. Your support directly helps sustain camp operations and ensures that every child can enjoy an exceptional summer experience.

Tier 2

Is a partially subsidized rate for families who cannot afford the full cost of camp. Please choose this rate if your family requires financial support. This option helps ensure that every child can participate, even when resources are limited.

Tier 3

Is a more heavily subsidized rate for families whose children would otherwise be unable to attend camp. If paying either of the higher rates is not possible, please select this option to help make camp accessible for your child.

Tier 4

Is a variable rate for families whose financial needs exceed the standard subsidized options. Through our Financial Assistance Program, we provide additional support. If your family requires extra assistance, please select this option on the Enrollment Application to be considered.

At CGI Poconos, our goal is to offer your child a unique camping experience. We strive to make our program affordable and available for every child who wishes to participate. Our Financial Aid program provides assistance to families that are unable to pay the full tuition. The amount awarded is determined on the basis of need and the availability of funds.

Please note that CGI Poconos’ Financial Aid Applications will not be considered without the deposit, which is fully refundable if CGI Poconos is unable to provide sufficient aid to facilitate attendance. If the deposit itself creates an obstacle, please call us at 845.425.0903 to discuss. To apply for aid, please follow these easy steps:

  • Register for camp by completing the Enrollment Application.
  • Check the box requesting the Financial Aid Application on the Enrollment Application.
  • Pay the $400 deposit.

Once CGI Poconos receives your Enrollment Application, the Financial Aid Application will be sent to you.

  • Complete the online Financial Aid Application.
  • Please also inform us of any other scholarships that you are applying for.

Things to know about financial aid:

  • The deadline for the Financial Aid Application is March 31, 2026. Any Financial Aid Application received after March 31 will only be considered if scholarship funds are still available.
  • The Financial Aid Application is not an application to enroll at CGI Poconos. You must first submit the CGI Poconos Enrollment Application, and you will then receive the Financial Aid Application.
  • All financial information is kept strictly confidential.
  • Our goal is to notify all applicants of the final status of their scholarship requests within 4 weeks of submitting your online application.
  • If you do not receive enough financial aid, you can cancel your enrollment at CGI Poconos prior to May 1, 2026 and receive a total refund of all fees paid, including your deposit.

Scholarships from Other Organizations

We encourage you to check with your synagogue, Jewish Family and Children’s Services, Jewish Federation, or other local agencies that might provide assistance to help make camp more affordable. Most scholarships and grants require you to first register for a session at CGI Poconos. Your deposit is refundable until May 1, 2025, for any reason, and is refundable after that date if camp is not possible for financial reasons.

Is there a limit?
No! For each camper you refer you will receive an additional $350 off your tuition balance.
