Insurance Plans
If you are worried about your camper meeting the expectations of camp as listed in the camper application or the code of conduct or are worried about your camper’s ability to complete a full summer session successfully for any reason, we strongly encourage you to look into trip insurance to protect your financial investment in camp! We are not able to provide partial or full refunds for campers who leave camp early for any reasons other than those outlined in our cancellation and refund policy.
We partner with a third-party insurance provider to help our families protect their investments and plan for the unexpected. For more information, read the Program Protector Plans document from 2026. A new document will be available when registration opens! Families can sign up during the enrollment process. If you want to purchase after enrolling, please email Business Manager Lisa Rodney at lrodney@urj.org.
Please note that Camp IS NOT a travel protection insurance provider; decisions regarding the insurer’s liability are made at the sole discretion of the third-party insurer in accordance with the insurance policy’s terms.
Intersession
Intersession
Intersession is a 2-day/2-night experience exclusively available to campers who stay at camp for multiple sessions. During the days between each session, our campers will play games, enjoy the outdoors, spend time with their camp friends, and participate in some leisurely activities while hanging out at camp. After a busy two weeks, they will also have time to unwind, sleep a little late, catch up on their reading or favorite board game, and enjoy the camp environment. We believe strongly that the intersession time is an important part of the camp experience and that each camper staying for two sessions or more be enrolled in intersession programming.
Campers who DO NOT stay for intersession must be picked up during the Sunday/closing day pick-up period and returned during the Tuesday/Opening Day drop-off period of the next enrolled session. If you cannot commit to picking up and dropping off your camper during those time slots, your child must be enrolled in the intersession.
Participants in the Gesher Program for rising 12th graders are automatically enrolled in Intersession as part of their regular registration.
