In addition to our sleep-away camp, we also have a rapidly-growing day camp which operates between 9am and 5pm each day with before-care and after-care options also available.

Affordability

As a non-profit organization, HI4Y’s  aim is to make sure that summer camp is affordable for all children. Each child’s fee is set individually, taking into account family income and size and using a sliding fee scale. Our fees are a great deal less  than other summer programs, and sibling discounts are available. At Camp Vacamas, fees range from $900 to $2,000 per session for a full compliment of comprehensive services and activities. Financial aid and scholarships are offered based on eligibility. Transportation to camp is provided from NYC, Nassau and Suffolk counties, and selected locations in New Jersey at no additional cost.
