Activities
A typical camp day could include arts and crafts, music and movement, yoga, swimming or park visits, field trips or a special guest, games and more!
Activities are geared to encourage unity, fun, and learning. Woven throughout the day, universal values are incorporated into activities through the lens of Jewish traditions, ethics, and learning by focusing on three main Jewish principles: Torah (Jewish text); Avodah (work); and Gemilut Chasidim (acts of loving kindness).
Most importantly, Camp Shalom offers our children an opportunity to be with other Jewish children, creating memories and friendships that will last a lifetime
Special Programing – Leader-in-Training (LIT)
Our Leader-in-Training (LIT) Program is designed to offer qualified young people an opportunity to prepare for positions as camp counselors or recreation leaders. Emphasis is placed upon developing leadership skills, sensitivity to children, and program skills.
This unique program is designed for teens going into, or currently attending, middle school. Designed with age appropriate activities LIT’s take part in training sessions where they learn invaluable skills that will aid them for future opportunities in babysitting, becoming camp counselors and more.
As a leadership development program, LITs participate in programming meant to to build a sense of mutual responsibility and cooperation and strengthen Jewish identity.
