Camp Shalom’s middle school program is designed for campers who are ready for more independence and a more mature camp experience. The focus is on building strong peer connections, encouraging individuality, and giving campers space to grow while still feeling supported by our staff.

The schedule offers a thoughtful mix of traditional camp activities and elevated programming geared toward middle schoolers, with an emphasis on choice and flexibility. Campers can expect weekly special events, engaging field trips, choice-based activities, and themed days that keep camp fun, social, and exciting throughout the summer.
