Registration for 2009 programs is now open!

Registration for Tawonga programs typically begins in early December for returning families and mid-December for the general public. Should you decide to register for a Tawonga program, your bill will include a transportation fee as detailed below and a $40 canteen deposit for each child attending a summer program at our Yosemite location. This is only a deposit and any unspent part can be returned to you after the summer season.

Financial Assistance Information

We want a Camp Tawonga experience to be an option for every family. We recognize that camp fees may exceed a family's budget and that the cost of living or extenuating circumstances may pose challenges in paying for camp. Through the generosity of donors to camp, the Jewish Community Federation, the Bureau of Jewish Education, and other agencies and individuals, we are able to offer financial assistance to numerous families. We encourage you to seek more information by checking the "Financial Options" box when you register. We'll follow up with further information on your financial options for both summer and weekend programs.

Camp Tawonga also offers an interest-free payment plan. Check the corresponding box when you register and we will set up a plan for you payable by Visa or MasterCard. Most plans begin the month following your registration and continue through the start of your camp program. Extended plans may be available. Call us for more details.

Other discounts are available! If more than one of your children is attending a summer camp program, any additional children in your family will each receive a 10% discount on their camper fees. If you are a JCC member and new to Camp Tawonga, ask your JCC about a member discount for Tawonga summer programs. If you are new to Tawonga and have a middle school aged child, visit www.onehappycamper.org after registering to see if you qualify for a need-blind incentive grant.

Still unsure about how to afford camp for your family this year? Call us - 415.543.2267 - we're happy to help! Or, take a look at our comprehensive financial assistance document by clicking here.
