Noar Campers in entering 2nd and 3rd grades will be eligible for an extension to full sessions:

1. Parents can decide in advance if their child will have the option to extend
2. After the first week of camp, a community care professional will connect with the child and parent to make sure that an extension is suitable for the respective camper.
3. There will be financial aid options available for the extension to offset the cost (if need be)

Our Madrichim in Training (MIT) program is available to entering 12th graders. Participants will explore activities designed just for them and never solely be responsible for other children. At the same time, they’ll get a hearty introduction to the life of being a counselor, apprenticing with seasoned pros to see what the madrich/a life is all about!

We have 2 tracks for this program, one of which goes to Israel with YJ Global’s Gesher. To find out more about this exciting program, click here.

Any current camper who refers a first-time camper (not a sibling and must be a new family to CYJ) who attends CYJ 2023 will receive a $150 tuition credit.  There is no limit on the number of tuition credits a camper may receive. This fee is not valid for cash and may not be used toward your deposit. The referring camper must attend camp to get the tuition credit. If the referred camper cancels, the credit will be removed. Please email the names of campers you have referred to Kevin at kevin@cyjmid.org. Those families must indicate that you referred them when they register.
