Scholarship applications for Summer 2025 will be accepted from January – end of February. Incomplete, missing, or late applications will not be considered. Scholarships vs. Early Enrollment Discounts Families may choose to save through either a scholarship or an early enrollment discount, but not both. Early Enrollment Discounts: Reward families who register and pay early, helping us plan ahead and guaranteeing your child’s spot at the best rate available. Scholarships: Provide financial assistance to families who qualify based on income and available funding. These are reviewed after all required documentation is received.

  • Fair Lawn Jewish Day Camp | Accredited by ACA

    ACACAMPS accredited by American camp association Fair Lawn Jewish Day Camp is proud to be one of the accredited day camps in North Jersey by the American Camp Association! Fun And Safety — American Camp Association set the Standard. ACA Accreditation means that the camp you are considering for your child cares enough to undergo a thorough (over 300 standards) review of its operation — from staff qualifications and training to emergency management. American Camp Association collaborates with experts from The American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Red Cross, and other youth service agencies to assure that current practices at the camp reflect the most up-to-date, research-based standards in camp operation. Camps and ACA form a partnership that promotes summers of growth and fun in an environment committed to safety. ACA helps accredited camps provide: Healthy, developmentally-appropriate activities and learning experiences Discovery through experiential education Caring, competent role models Service to the community and the environment Opportunities for leadership and personal growth Answers to Parents' Most Frequently Asked Questions About Camp Accreditation WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN STATE LICENSING OF CAMPS AND ACCREDITATION BY ACA? Accreditation is voluntary and ACA accreditation assures families that camps have made the commitment to a safe, nurturing environment for their children. If a state requires licensing, it is mandatory; licensing requirements vary from state to state. ACA standards are recognized by courts of law and government regulators as the standards of the camp community. HOW DO ACA STANDARDS EXCEED STATE LICENSING REQUIREMENTS? ACA goes beyond basic requirements for health, cleanliness, and food service into specific areas of programming, including camp staff from director through counselors, emergency management plans, health care, and management. ACA applies separate standards for activities such as waterfront, horseback riding, and adventure and travel. WHAT ARE SOME OF THE ACA STANDARDS THAT CAMPS RELY ON? Staff to camper ratios are appropriate for different age groups. Goals for camp activities are developmentally based. Emergency transportation is available at all times. First-aid facilities and trained staff are available when campers are present. DOES ACA ACCREDITATION REQUIRE CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECKS? ACA accreditation standards require a staff screening system which may include criminal background checks where permitted by law. When talking to a camp director as you consider enrolling your child, ask what the screening process for that camp includes. HOW CAN I VERIFY THAT MY CHILD'S CAMP IS ACA ACCREDITED? Parents can (and should) verify the accreditation status of any camp at any time by visiting ACA's Web site at www.ACAcamps.org or by calling 1-800-428-CAMP.
