Please note: Due to record inflation there will be a one-time surcharge of $25/week per camper to support a rise in direct costs including counselor pay. Given the important role of our summer staff, we have increased their pay to ensure our ability to hire the very best team for our campers.
Apachi Day Camp is fully inclusive of children with disabilities through a partnership with Keshet for additional support. Please note camp registration is handled directly through Keshet.
