6th, 7th, and 8th Grade

At Camp Shalom, we understand the distinct needs of families with older kids, and our focus is on providing an environment that supports their growth and independence. We aim to foster meaningful peer relationships while acknowledging and respecting the individual needs of each camper. The camp schedule is thoughtfully designed to offer a blend of traditional camp programming and personalized group activities, ensuring that your camper has a well-rounded experience. Each week, they can look forward to special event days, field trips, choice programs, and 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!

At Camp Shalom we believe in the potential of our campers and encourage them to dream big and reach for the stars!
