Camp Shalom Family Shabbat Dinners July 10 & August 7

Celebrate Shabbat under the stars with your whole family this summer at Camp Shalom! Our Shabbat dinners are scheduled after our Friday visiting days, to make it easier for families to just stay and enjoy various activities before attending our family service and buffet dinner. Campers help prepare by creating table decorations during the camp day. Make Shabbat memorable as we rejoice together! Fees apply.

While each summer is different, one thing remains the same – and that is our ‘traditions,’ which are fundamental to the daily life of our campers.Our daily traditions include:• Beginning each day together with morning flagpole• Sharing our spirit through songs and cheers• Deepening our friendships by applauding each

other’s accomplishments• Gaining an understanding of our Universal Values and

working together towards a common goal• Helping to build skills necessary to prepare campers

as they grow• Enjoying the friendly competition and comradery of the

Maccabia Games (Color War)• Looking forward to late nights and sleepovers, spending

extra time with our friends• Building self-confidence through progressive programming• Celebrating Shabbat together each week

Our daughter grew in so many ways this summer, thanks to Camp Shalom.

She overcame worries about the climbing wall, swimming and sleeping away from home. Most importantly,

she gained confidence, independence and a belief in herself. I feel so

fortunate to have such an incredible Jewish camp for our daughters.

”A Note from the Director For many of us, summer was an unforgettable part of our childhood. We made friends who were more like family, learned new skills and experienced new surroundings- all adding up to memories that last a lifetime. Camp Shalom is a large part of our lives, and we can’t wait to share all that it has to offer, with you.Karen Director, Camp Shalom
