OPEN TO EVERYONE!
I want to thank you for all your help, professional care, great experience and really one of the best camps
we’ve tried so far. We love it, the activities, the camp counselors, the food,
it was all GREAT!
Thanks so much to you and your team for providing such a wonderful camp experience for our daughter, and all the kids! It’s great to see her enjoying herself
and looking forward to camp each day.
My daughter had another wonderful summer and is already talking about next year. Whatever you are doing, keep it up! You’ve got a lot of happy campers!
Character
At Camp Shalom we…
• Inspire the potential in every child
• Foster a love of adventure
• Demonstrate universal values
• Support our staff
• Facilitate personal growth
• Provide lifelong memories, built on tradition
Our qualified staff are trained to encourage children to reach their individual potential. Their talent, love, leadership, and devotion are the heart and soul of camp.
Our staff is a combination of full-time JCC leadership professionals, teachers, college and graduate students, and high school seniors and juniors. They bring with them the skills needed to guide campers and instill in them confidence and character development needed to one day become counselors themselves, utilizing these life lessons in the future.
Confidence
Our counselors and specialists help to develop a sense of confidence, no matter how big or small campers’ achievements are. We provide the opportunities to practice and master skills, and are always there to boost spirits, using encouraging words and actions for their efforts.
Your child will be in a group with excellent camper/staff ratios. No matter the age, we emphasize the group experience for children to:
• Become more confident and increase their self-esteem
• Develop increased social skills
• Foster independence while strengthening their leadership qualities
• Be adventurous and try new things
