Your unique referral code may be shared with cousins, friends, and on social media!

If you are a new family, when you sign up for summer camp you will receive your unique referral code via email within 1-2 business days. If you are a returning family, you have already received your unique referral code via email.

A new camper is defined as a child who has never attended a Lavner Education camp or other program previously.
-
A referrer is a camp family who referred one or more new families.
-
To qualify, your referrals must be new to Lavner Education (have never attended a Lavner Education summer camp, year-round program, lesson, or any other program) and they must use your referral code when they sign up for camp.
-
If you sent your child to Lavner Education previously you do not qualify as a new family and are not able to use a referral code when you sign up for camp again this year.
-
Each new student who uses a referral code from another family will receive $50 off at the time of purchase. In September 2026, referring families will receive a $50 credit in their Lavner Education account for each new friend they referred, after Summer 2026 has concluded and everyone has attended camp. <strong>Referral credits can either be used towards future Lavner camps/programs or you can request cash back for the full credit amount.</strong> Referral credits cannot exceed your total spend on camp in Summer 2026. (Eg. If you refer a new family that signs up 3 children, they will receive $150 off at the time of purchase and you will receive $150 in September 2026!)
-
Referrals must be made prior to the start of your friend’s first 2026 summer camp week.
-
All referrals are tallied in September 2026 to ensure that your child attended camp and that your referrals attended camp as well (at least one week each). Account credits and cash back will also be awarded in September 2026 after the tallies are completed.
-
To be eligible for a referral credit, you must also send a child to a Lavner Education summer camp in 2026.
-
In our camp referral competition, cash bonuses of $500 each will be awarded to the top three referring families. However, if there is a tie among the top referrers that involves more than three families, we will resolve it through a digital raffle. For example, if one family has the highest referral count, another has the second highest referral count, but there’s a tie among six families for the third highest, we will conduct a digital raffle live on Zoom to select which one of these six tied families will receive the third $500 bonus. Another example: 10 families are all tied for the highest referral total. We will conduct a digital raffle to pick all three winners. In this camp referral competition, only three families in total can win, and we’ll conduct a raffle for any necessary tie-breaking.

Justin LavnerÂ
Founder & President, Lavner Education
Wharton Executive MBA Program – 51st Class
Villanova University School of Law (J.D. ’09)
University of Pennsylvania (B.A. ’05)
Justin Lavner is an entrepreneur, visionary, and thought leader in the education industry. Justin’s fundamental belief is that every child should have the best opportunities to learn, make friends, and have fun. As a boy, Justin was raised by two working parents who prioritized a high quality education, strong work ethic, and the importance of dreaming big. Justin and Michael’s mother, Arlene Lavner, was an award-winning elementary school teacher who instilled these values in her sons at an early age and continued to reinforce them throughout life. Arlene taught her sons how to learn, how to find a passion, and how to pursue it. As a result, Justin went on to become a student-athlete who excelled in school and tennis. Justin played in national and international junior tennis tournaments as a teenager and was one of the top singles/doubles players at the University of Pennsylvania.
Justin created Lavner Education to challenge the status quo of the education industry and bring the best educational experiences to kids worldwide. Lavner Education is a place where you will find the most cutting-edge courses, proprietary curricula created in-house, the best instructors, the hottest topics, real-world skill building and endless opportunities to make lifelong memories while having tons of fun. It’s a place where students find the joy in learning, build self-confidence, and achieve their goals. It’s a place that prioritizes families and gives parents the peace-of-mind that their child is getting the best experience. It’s a place that inspires everyone to try their best and make a difference in this world.Â
Now, Justin’s passion is bringing the power of Lavner Education to thousands of students each year, and working with an incredibly talented team that shares this mission. Through education, a strong vision, and lots of hard work, you can change the world.
Just like Mom said, “Find what you love and dedicate your life to it. That’s how you will make a difference.” Thanks, Mom!

This program provided a stimulating opportunity to discuss and explore the power and influence of sports through insightful interviews and memorable accounts with nationally and locally renowned guests. Michael attended summer camps from ages 3 to 14, and believes in the impact of providing educational and enriching programs to kids and teens. During his junior year in college, Michael lived abroad as an exchange student in Rome with an Italian family that allowed him to travel throughout Europe.
