4-TIER PRICING PROGRAM

Realizing that families have differing abilities to pay, CGI 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 participating in the selected session. If you are able to pay this amount, please do so. Thank you!

Tier 2

is a partially subsidized rate that will enable families that just can’t afford the full cost of the camp program. Please, choose this rate if your family has the need to receive a subsidized rate.

Tier 3

is a more heavily subsidized rate for families whose children would not be able to attend camp otherwise. If you cannot afford either of the higher rates, please pay this amount.

Tier 4

Tier 4 is a variable rate for families whose financial assistance needs is greater than the subsidized rates above. We provide more significant financial assistance to families that demonstrate need through our Financial Assistance Program. If you need additional assistance, please mark this option on the Enrollment Application.

Please see below for multiple first-time camper grants & scholarship opportunities

A $100 deposit payable by check or credit card is required with each camper’s application. If this deposit amount presents an obstacle, please call us at 845.425.0903 to discuss.

CGI Poconos requires a $100 deposit to hold a place for your camper. Should you change your mind, for any reason, prior to December 1, 2022, we will refund all funds paid to CGI less $100 to cover administrative costs. After December 1, 2022, no refunds can be provided upon cancellation.

For families requesting financial assistance, if sufficient financial assistance is not awarded, CGI will refund 100% of your deposit, provided that you inform us in writing or via e-mail prior to December 1, 2022 that your camper will not be attending CGI.

After the first child pays full tuition, each sibling who enrolls shall receive a 10% off their tuition reduction. (Note: Discount not applicable if receiving a CGI Scholarship.)

Full payment is due by December 1, 2022. Customized payment plans are available on request; please call us at 845.425.0903 to discuss.

One Happy Camper Grant! CGI Poconos is proud to be a participant in the One Happy Camper grant program. That means qualifying campers will be eligible for a grant of $700 towards a 2 week session and $1,000 towards a 3 week or longer session. One happy camper grant eligibility:

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 in the Poconos’ Financial Aid Applications will not be considered without the deposit, which is fully refundable if CGI in the 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.(attach the link)
  • Check the box requesting the Financial Aid Application on the Enrollment Application.
  • Pay the $150 deposit for the 2 week session or $300 deposit for the 4 week session via credit card or check (preferred).

Once CGI in the 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, 2022. 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 in the Poconos. You must first submit the CGI in the 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 in the Poconos prior to May 1, 2022 and receive a total refund of all fees paid, including your deposit.

Interest-Free Payment Plans

CGI Poconos offers an interest-free payment plan payable by credit card. Simply check the “Payment Plan” box on the Enrollment Application, and we’ll contact you to arrange your payment plan.

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 in the Poconos. Your deposit is refundable until May 1, 2022, for any reason, and is refundable after that date if camp is not possible for financial reasons.

Members of the PJ Library and residents of Washington, DC, Philadelphia, PA, and the state of Massachusetts, may be eligible for further incentive grants; please see the section above describing the One Happy Camper grants, and call us at 845.425.0903 for more information.
