At Fair Lawn Jewish Day Camp we are committed to making sure your children have the best possible experience, for the best value. As such we set the tuition prices based on the experiences offered to each individual child - quality programs, activities, food, trips, coaches, and counselors. In order to help keep prices competitive, we do not charge everyone for "extras" that not everyone needs, (such as busing, extra care, swim lessons for older divisions) unless you need it! This allows everyone to enjoy a lower camp cost and pay only for what extras they need and actually use.

We have 4 divisions at camp: Kiddie Camp: children 3 & 4 years old K Juniors: children entering K in the upcoming school year. Juniors: children entering 1&2 grades in the upcoming school year. Pioneers: children entering grades 3-5 in the upcoming school year. Adventure Camp: children entering grades 6-8 in the upcoming school year. For the Kiddie Camp, campers are in classes ranging from 10-15 campers. Each class has 1 teacher and 2 assistants. In the Junior division, Pioneer division, and Adventure Camp our bunks range in size from 12-15 campers each, with 2 counselors per bunk. Each division is also devided by gender and has approximately 4 bunks with its own Division Head. Our bunks are separate gender, with the exception of Kiddie Camp, which is co–ed. We maintain a minimum ratio of 1:9 counselors to campers for all divisions and 1:6 in Kiddie Camp, in accordance with the NJ Youth Camp Safety Standards.

Pick Up for Junior Division begins at 3:40 PM and ends at 3:55 PM. Pick Up for Pioneer and Adventure Camp begins at 4:00 PM and ends PROMPTLY at 4:15 PM. If you have children in divisions with different pick up times, you should arrive for the later pick up time to pick up all kids. Similarly if doing carpool with children from divisions with different pick up times. You will not be charged for after care until 4:15pm.

We understand that the experience your child will have at camp will be largely impacted by their wonderful counselors. We take pride in the maturity and responsibility of our staff, and our youngest counselors are 16 years old. At least one counselor in each bunk is a high school graduate. Our Camp prides itself on its exceptional staff. All staff come with prior camp or youth related experience and a desire to work with kids. Bunks are well staffed. Electives are run by professional instructors. We take great pride in our commitment to recruiting, training and keeping the highest quality staff in the camping profession. Over the years, FLJDC has always been dedicated to small groups with exceptional staff supervision. This ensures the best possible care, instruction and supervision for our campers. Our counselors are all certified in CPR and First Aid, highly trained, dedicated, and experienced.

We employ a Health Director (EMT) on staff at all times. This person's job is limited to the health and wellbeing of campers and staff, treating minor injuries, and overseeing the health program at camp. In addition all of our staff participate in training before camp begins and are certified in CPR and First Aid.

No, we do not require that all campers wear a Camp T-shirt each day. However while on field trips camp shirts are required. Since all camp staff and campers wear camp shirts, we are instantly recognizable to each other. Additionally, on our camp picture day all campers will be required to wear a camp shirt. Pionneer Division receives two camp shirts and Adventure Campers receive three camp shirts.

We are a nut-free and seed-free camp. The food that we serve contains no trace of peanuts, tree nuts, or seeds and our policy is that any food sent along with your children to camp must contain no nuts or seeds, or traces of nuts or seeds. Please note this includes Bamba!
