We believe every child should have the chance to go to sleepaway camp. If your family is facing financial hardship or difficulties, please call the Camp Office at 973-948-3550 to discuss the details of applying for an L.G. Cook 4-H Camp Campership or click here to go to our Campership application.

If making a bunkmate request, please only name one child of a similar age to your Camper.

We can only guarantee if campers mutually request each other, and logistically we cannot accommodate more.

It also works against our mission for too many friends to be in a cabin together as it can stand in the way of the opportunity to make a whole bunch of new friends.

Camp offers the opportunity for campers in different cabins to see each other plenty during meals, classes, and all-camp activities as well. Most of our campers attend Camp without a bunkmate request.

We encourage you to go through our class list with your camper and together decide which two classes they would like to take.

A List of Classes can be found here.

Camp Schedule – One of our campers' favorite features of the summer program is that our days are just jam-packed with activities. Though some daily schedules may look similar, no two days at Summer Camp are ever the same!

Payment is required in full at the time of registration.

If your camper is attending the BIG session, you may enroll in a payment plan. Payment in full for the amount of $825 is required at the time of registration. All payment plans must be completed, and balances paid in full by June 15th.

Any unpaid accounts after June 15th will result in forfeiture of bunk(s) unless arrangements have been made with the office.

Pre-Season Cancellation:
$75 Fee on Any and All Refunds Before June 15th
$175 BIG Session Cancellation Fee
(Fee is Waived for Credits for Future Summer - All credits are non-refundable.)

Summer Cancellation (after June15th):
There are no refunds after June 15th. A $200 cancellation fee ($400 for BIG Session) will be applied to cancellations received before 7 days of start of camper’s session. The remainder will be credited to a future summer. (All credits are non-refundable.)

There are NO REFUNDS OR CREDITS for cancellations within one week (7 days) of a camp session. We have already purchased food and supplies, and there is limited ability to bring a camper off the waitlist on such short notice.

No refunds will be granted for a camper who leaves Camp early mid-session for any reason, including but not limited to illness, injury, behavior issues or homesickness challenges. Cancellations in cases of accident or illness (with verification from a doctor) or family emergency will be examined on a case by case basis. Any refund in this regard will be less the $200 registration fee.

Menu – Food is a big part of a campers stay at L.G. Cook. Our campers eat fifteen meals with us during their week here! Our kitchen works tirelessly to provide a variety of meals to keep all of our campers happy, and a salad bar is provided for each meal. In addition we have snack every evening, and fresh fruit available multiple times throughout the day. We offer dietary options for campers who are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and nut-free. If you have any questions about dietary policies, please contact us. Here is a sample Camp menu. (Menu is subject to change.)
