Camp Shalom

2nd & 3rd Grade

We prioritize creating a supportive environment at Camp Shalom. Our goal is to offer a space where young campers can build strong peer connections, all while considering the unique needs of each individual child. The camp schedule is carefully crafted to provide a mix of traditional camp activities and tailored group experiences. Every week, your camper can anticipate the excitement of a fun-filled special event day and a chance to rock the red carpet with themed dress-up days.

Flexible Summer Camping Options

Campers sign up by the week so Camp Shalom fits into your busy summer schedule. Sign up for as little as one week or come the whole summer — the choice is yours!
