At Camp Shalom, our goal is to inspire confidence in our campers. We provide a framework for lasting memories and friendships. We offer quality programs with low camper-to-staff ratios that are age appropriate, challenging and fun. We believe that children from all backgrounds can thrive immersed in the cultural treasures that Judaism offers. Camp Shalom focuses on the Jewish values of kindness, persistence, community, creativity, friendship, and courage.

Greetings, Camp Shalom Family!

This is my first year with Camp Shalom, and after experiencing all the fun of Winter Camp, I am EXCITED! I have had the privilege to work with several summer programs in our region, and I believe quality summer camps are key to reducing summer slide, both academically and socially. Summer camp is, for many, a rite of passage. It provides an environment where kids are encouraged to be silly, messy, and fully themselves. At Camp Shalom, we help our campers explore their interests (and stumble upon new ones), hone their skills (and gain new ones), and reconnect with friends (and make lots of new ones).

This summer’s theme is Tikun Olam, which means “repairing the world.” Our eight-week camp is divided into four sections during which we will repair the world through learning about and loving ourselves, our friends and family, our community, and our world. Through traditional camp fun, your kids will come away from this summer feeling empowered to be the superheroes we know they are. The world needs them.

I hope your family will join us this summer for Camp Shalom. I can’t wait to meet you!

INTERESTED IN BECOMING A CAMP COUNSELOR?

CLICK HERE TO APPLY

Camp is an important experience for kids of all ages. Activities and experiences are developmentally appropriate and slightly different for each age group. For our younger campers, things will be loud, messy, and silly. Older campers will enjoy more advanced activities in art, athletics, and critical thinking. All campers will end their days happily tired and end their summer having grown in mind, body, and spirit.

CHALUTZIM (Counselors in Training; entering grades 8-9)
Chalutzim are typically experienced campers who are ready to take on some leadership. They assist counselors in engaging campers and preparing for activities. Chalutzim are a great opportunity for young people who are interested in becoming a camp counselor someday and would like an insider experience before taking on the full responsibility. Chalutzim will always be under the supervision of Camp Shalom staff. They will receive a stipend of $5/day for working at camp and will be paid each Friday for the current week.

CAMPERS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS
Camp Shalom is an inclusive environment. If your child has unique social, emotional, physical, or medical needs, please contact Suzzy Nandrasy directly. If specialized or individual care is necessary, there may be an additional charge.

Field trips & swimming are core parts of Camp Shalom and many campers’ favorite part of summer! We will have free swim twice per week and visit sites throughout Dayton and beyond to take the Camp Shalom fun on the road!
