Credit Card Fees

Please note that a service charge of 3.5% will be applied to all credit card transactions. As many of you know, this has become a standard business practice in New York State when paying with a credit card, as it allows businesses to cover the 3.5% fee that the credit card company is charging. This charge does not and will not apply to other payment forms such as debit cards or ACH payments. Camp Poyntelle does not accept cash or check payments.

The Poyntelle Difference

At Camp Poyntelle, we provide an exceptional, premier overnight Jewish camp experience at an affordable rate, simply because that’s what is most important to us – so much so that it is at the core of our mission and values. Thankfully, our parent agency, Commonpoint, and our long-time partner, the UJA Federation of NY, share our commitment to providing outstanding – and affordable – Jewish summer experiences. As a result of our combined efforts, the only thing missing at Camp Poyntelle is the additional expense to families. Our goal is to continue sharing our summer home and transformative experiences with as many families as we can – not only those who can afford to pay more.

Financial Assistance

Poyntelle Scholarships are given through our parent agency, Commonpoint.  To maximize our funds and reach more interested families, we have decided to use “FACTS” Management Company Grants to collect financial and tax information from families seeking assistance. FACTS will perform a financial analysis of the required paperwork and recommend a Scholarship based on the fiscal needs of each specific family. Our goal is to ensure that our funds are being used where most needed, allowing more families to experience the joy, warmth, and spirit of Camp Poyntelle.

When applying for FACTS, instead of looking for Camp Poyntelle as your camp/school, please look for Central Queens/Samuel Field Y and choose that option (this is where Commonpoint, our Parent Organization, operates out of).
